#96: IAG Loyalty Shares New Trends including eStore, new Banking Propositions and Employee Loyalty

Published on: 8th April, 2021

As the currency originally created and famously known as "Air Miles", Avios is now the loyalty currency of the five airlines of the IAG airline alliance, operated by IAG Loyalty Limited, which now boasts over 35 million members across airlines including British Airways, Aer Lingus and Iberia - airlines that together typically carry over 118 million passengers a year. 

Adam Daniels, CEO of IAG Loyalty Ltd, shares both the expected and unexpected changes that have emerged through the global pandemic, with major behaviour changes including how consumers and retail partners have discovered the extraordinary power of awarding Avios points for online shopping. 

We also discuss some new ideas for banking partnerships and also the power of the currency as a tool to drive employee loyalty, with concepts such as "Get Fit With Avios" proving hugely successful!
