Identifying India as a potential market, German airline major Lufthansa is in talks with the Taj Group for integrating the airline's frequent-flyer programme, Miles and More. The air carrier, which currently operates 47 flights a week, is also planning to tie up with a credit card service provider to integrate the Miles and More programme.
An announcement in this regard is likely to take place in India next month (August).
Andreas Bierwirth, vice-president, marketing, Lufthansa, said the airline was in talks with Tata-controlled Taj Group to partner with its frequent-flyer programme.
The deal with a credit card service provider will mean that a Lufthansa passenger, who is a frequent flyer, can secure miles for the money he spends through that particular card.
In the case of Taj Hotels, passengers will earn more miles if they stay more in the group's hotels.
"The modalities of partnership
are yet to be finalised. We are expecting to conclude the agreements by the next month," Bierwirth said._arti_inline_advt">
