Through the revised programme, Air India is offering a range of advantages for participants, regardless of their frequency of travel.
After its merger with Vistara, Air India has launched a newer version of its frequent flyer programme -Maharaja Club. The revised programme offers a range of advantages for participants, regardless of their frequency of travel. Air India introduced its frequent flyer program in 1994, originally known as Flying Returns, making it one of the longest-standing programs in India.
In November, Air India successfully finalised the integration and legal consolidation with Vistara. This milestone reflects the earlier integration of Air India Express and the former AirAsia India in October, forming the budget segment of the airline. This will enhance the Air India-Vistara combined entity, which will operate as a full-service airline within the Air India group.
