I'm EK iO. I am the owner/president of my company, and have a lot of employees that travel on EK J, and we use EK Sky Cargo. A good amount of them are platinum, but asking EK to give them all iO just seems silly. I can only guess I received iO because I myself also fly a good amount of J/F, but also because EK knows my business is giving them a lot of money for my employee travel and cargo. There would be no purpose of these ultra exclusive tiers if everyone had them. There's a reason theres only a few hundred people in these programs.
