IndiGo announces loyalty programme expansion
A day before issuing the weather-related advisory, IndiGo had announced a separate customer-focused initiative in partnership with Adani Airport Holdings Ltd (AAHL). The domestic carrier said the tie-up would allow members of its loyalty programme, BlueChip, to earn rewards on duty-free shopping at Adani-managed airports.
Under the arrangement, travellers will get five IndiGo BluChips for every Rs 100 spent on duty-free products pre-booked through Adani’s platform. Passengers can browse, reserve and pay online before departure and later collect the items at the airport.
AAHL operates airports in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thiruvananthapuram, Guwahati, Jaipur, Mangaluru, Lucknow and Ahmedabad. At present, duty-free purchases under the programme are available at Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Thiruvananthapuram, Jaipur, Mangaluru and Lucknow airports, with expansion planned for Guwahati and Navi Mumbai.
