Mexicana, the first airline established in Mexico and the country’s largest international airline, today announced a partnership with the AIR MILES Reward Program, Canada’s largest coalition loyalty program, as a travel rewards supplier. AIR MILES collectors can now redeem their reward miles for Mexicana flights anywhere the airline flies around the world.
Partnering with the AIR MILES Reward Program helps consolidate Mexicana as the Mexican airline with the strongest presence in Canada which operates 36 flights a week to and from major cities like Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. Launched in 1992, the AIR MILES Reward Program currently has more than 10 million active Collector accounts across the country, representing approximately two-thirds of all Canadian households.
“Joining this popular program will strengthen our commercial ties with Canada,” said Mexicana Vice President Sales, USA and Canada, Jorge Goytortua. “Since 1996, we have held on to our position as the Mexican airline with the strongest presence in the region and are constantly searching for new ways to increase the flow of tourists between both countries.”
According to official figures, Mexicana flew over 318,000 passengers between Mexico and Canada in 2008 and has registered approximately 214,000 passengers through September of this year. The number of passengers traveling these routes is expected to increase 30% over the next five years as a result of the AIR MILES partnership.
“We are thrilled to welcome Mexicana to our extensive travel rewards portfolio,” said Jill Morison, Vice President Rewards, AIR MILES Reward Program. “The addition of Mexicana to our growing list of airline partners further exemplifies our commitment to expand the wide choice of reward redemptions available for our Collectors.”
Mexicana’s decision to partner with the AIR MILES Reward Program confirms its commitment to offering its passengers unparalleled services and functional, added-value solutions. Since September 1, 2009, AIR MILES Collectors have been able to participate in special promotions for travel with Mexicana and can redeem their reward miles for flights operated by Mexicana and its domestic subsidiaries, MexicanaClick and MexicanaLink.
