A First of Its Kind Collaboration
In a move that brings together two industries central to modern lifestyles Zomato and Air India have launched a partnership that connects food delivery with airline loyalty rewards. The collaboration marks the first time in India that an airline has tied up with a food tech platform to create a shared rewards ecosystem. For millions of customers this means that their everyday food orders can now take them closer to their next flight.
How the Partnership Works
Zomato customers who link their Maharaja Club account can earn 2 percent points on food delivery transactions above ₹499. New members who join the programme via Zomato are also eligible for a welcome bonus of 2000 points after completing their first Air India flight activity. To make the experience even more exciting one lucky member every day stands a chance to win a complimentary one way Economy Class ticket voucher valid for six months. This blend of convenience and aspiration has made the offer highly attractive to frequent flyers and loyal foodies alike.
Expanding the Reach of Maharaja Club
Air India has significantly scaled up its loyalty programme over the last two years by partnering with more than 50 brands across multiple categories. As a member of the Star Alliance network the airline already provides global recognition and benefits to its members. This latest collaboration with Zomato strengthens the value of Maharaja Club even further by making it a part of daily life through food delivery.
