Kingfisher, British Airways sign frequent flyer agreement

Mumbai: Kingfisher Airlines on Friday signed a comprehensive frequent flyer agreement with British Airways (BA), firming up its close bonding with the UK’s flag carrier, in a bid to boost revenues.
In September, the two airlines had entered into a code sharing agreement.
BA, as the sponsor for Kingfisher, is also helping the latter to join Oneworld, a global airlines alliance, which it hopes will happen by next year. The new agreement covers the entire route network of both carriers.
As per the new agreement, frequent flyers of Kingfisher would be able to earn points even while flying on BA flights, anywhere in the world, and vice versa.
Kingfisher will also allow its frequent flyers to redeem their accumulated “King Miles” on BA flights. The agreement has come into effect from Friday.
