Briefing

What Hype is tracking

Emirates Skywards members can now redeem miles on 75+ Jet2 short‑haul leisure routes, materially increasing redemption options for roughly 4 million UK members and boosting the practical value of Skywards currency.
The tie-up links Emirates to Jet2’s growing UK presence — including Jet2’s planned Gatwick base — improving short‑haul feed and leisure connectivity into Emirates’ long‑haul network ([source:23a9d789-db80-4764-a079-5183725139b6]).
The partnership is consistent with Emirates’ broader strategy of expanding connectivity via commercial and loyalty agreements rather than new flying; it follows recent loyalty and partnership activity including expanded reciprocal loyalty deals and interline activations ([source:f7b22c93-fd23-48cd-a764-78b540108c7c], [source:8f5b3faa-3b6c-4db5-9d99-c988d0b3e65c]).
