Etihad and STARLUX Make Loyalty Partnership Fully Reciprocal

Etihad Airways and STARLUX Airlines have expanded their loyalty partnership so members of both programmes can earn and redeem miles across either carrier. The two-way benefits took effect on 28 October 2026.

Etihad Guest and COSMILE members can use miles for award travel in First, Business and Economy cabins on eligible partner-operated flights. Members can also earn miles and request retroactive credit under the rules of their respective programmes.

The expansion builds on the airlines’ codeshare and Etihad’s Abu Dhabi-Taipei service, widening access across their combined networks. The announcement concerns customer loyalty benefits and does not confirm vacancies. Source: Etihad Airways.
