Etihad Airways has launched a new program called BusinessConnect which aims to help small to medium sized enterprises (SME) get the most value from their travel budget when flying with the airline.

Once registered, a company with up to 50 enrolled BusinessConnect member’s benefits from the following features:

• the business will earn 60% of all Diamond First and Pearl Business class miles earned by employees, in addition to individual employees receiving their normal mileage accrual;

• the business earns 30% of total miles flown in Coral Economy class, in addition to individual employees receiving their normal mileage accrual;

• BusinessConnect members can redeem their miles for free flights, upgrades and a choice of over 1600 rewards; and

• All miles are added together to start earning rewards faster.

Etihad Airways is launching BusinessConnect with a 5,000 miles bonus upon activation of the account. The offer ends on 30 April 2010.
