Members of Sindbad, Oman Air’s frequent fly er program, will now be awarded 500 miles each time they rent a car from Europcar.
With the new partnership, Sindbad members only need to provide their frequent flyer number when booking with Europcar, according to the company.
“Oman Air is committed to going the extra mile on behalf of our customers, giving them more opportunities to earn miles, and our new partnership with Europcar shows how we are continually adding to the range of benefits we offer,” said Mohammed Mubarak Al Shikely, Oman Air’s vice president of marketing.
“We are delighted for this new partnership in the Middle East with Oman Air’s Sindbad frequent flyer program,” said Marcus Bernhardt, chief commercial officer of Europcar Group. “It consolidates our presence in this part of the world, the dynamism of the tourism, especially to European countries, which is really a great opportunity for us to benefit from new customers and to provide them with an interesting reward.”
