Members of Sinbad, Oman Air's frequent flyer programme, will now be awarded 500 miles every time they rent with leading car rental Europcar following a new partnership inked between the two groups today.

Sindbad members simply need to quote their Sindbad number when booking with Europcar and present their membership card when collecting their vehicle.

Sindbad members will benefit from Europcar’s mobility services and get access to one of the largest car rental networks, with a presence in over 140 countries and an awarded car rental company, in particular in the Middle-East by World Travel Awards since 2005.

Commenting on the new partnership, Mohammed Mubarak Al Shikely, Oman Air’s vice president marketing, said: “We are delighted to announce this partnership with Europcar and are pleased to offer more options to our Sindbad members to enhance their travel experience.

“Oman Air is committed to going the extra mile on behalf of our customers, giving them more opportunities to earn miles and our new partnership with Europcar shows how we are continually adding to the range of benefits we offer,” Al Shikely added.

Marcus Bernhardt, chief commercial officer, Europcar Group, also said: “We are delighted for this new partnership in the Middle-East with Oman Air’s Sindbad frequent flyer programme. It consolidates our presence in this part of the world, the dynamism of the tourism, especially to European countries, which is really a great opportunity for us to benefit from new customers and to provide them with an interesting reward.” - TradeArabia news Service
