Etihad Guest has launched a frequent flyer partnership with Taiwan-based STARLUX Airlines’ COSMILE loyalty programme, expanding benefits for members across both airline networks.
From August 11, Etihad
Guest members can redeem miles for STARLUX flights in Business and Economy
cabins, accessing destinations across Asia, North America and Europe, including
Los Angeles, Phoenix, Seattle, Okinawa, Kobe and Nagoya.
The partnership builds
on the airlines’ codeshare agreement signed in June 2025 and Etihad’s direct
Taipei services launched last year.
Later in 2026, Etihad
Guest members will be able to earn miles on STARLUX flights, while COSMILE
members will gain the ability to earn and redeem miles across Etihad’s network
of more than 100 destinations.
Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial
Officer Etihad Airways, said: "This partnership with COSMILE gives our
members more ways to use their Etihad Guest Miles, opening up STARLUX's network
across Asia, North America and Europe from this August. As we build
towards full reciprocal earning and redemption in October, we're creating a
seamless loyalty experience that reflects the strength of our wider partnership
with STARLUX, from our codeshare agreement to our direct Abu Dhabi–Taipei
service. We look forward to welcoming more COSMILE members into the Etihad
Guest experience later this year."
Richard Tseng, Chief Passenger Commercial
Officer STARLUX Airlines, said: "Our loyalty partnership with Etihad
Guest is a natural next step in our relationship with Etihad, following our
codeshare agreement last year. Offering our COSMILE members the ability to earn
and redeem miles across Etihad's global network will give them far greater
reach, and reflects the shared commitment both airlines have to delivering an
exceptional experience for our customers." -TradeArabia News Service
