Emirates Skywards and GarudaMiles members can now earn and redeem Miles while travelling across a combined network of more than 200 destinations.
The two carriers launched a codeshare agreement in 2022 and have since expanded their partnership to offer loyalty programme members more destinations, more ‘Miles’, and more rewards.
Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer Adnan Kazim said: “At Emirates Skywards, we’re always exploring new ways to offer more choice, value, and opportunities for our members. Our exciting new partnership with Garuda Indonesia will significantly benefit both Skywards and GarudaMiles members.

It will open new doors for frequent flyers to earn and redeem miles across our combined networks while also expanding our renowned loyalty offering in Southeast Asia. We look forward to growing this partnership and delivering even greater value to our members.”

With this new joint loyalty programme, Garuda Indonesia represents its commitment to always delivering exciting offers to our GarudaMiles members while adding more benefits for Skywards members.”
