The Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL), India's largest hospitality company, has announced a pioneering partnership with oneworld, a global airline alliance, to offer enhanced benefits to members of its Taj InnerCircle-NeuPass loyalty programme. This collaboration allows members to access exclusive savings on participating oneworld airlines, including Cathay Pacific, until 30 September 2026, with further opportunities anticipated.
IHCL's Managing Director and CEO, Puneet Chhatwal, highlighted the partnership's significance, stating, “This partnership with oneworld reflects the growing consumer preference for more integrated travel experiences. As we expand Taj’s international footprint, such alliances strengthen our ability to engage a wider global audience.”
The partnership will also provide oneworld loyalty members with exclusive savings on stays, dining, and spa experiences across IHCL's global portfolio, which includes renowned brands such as Taj, Claridges Collection, and Vivanta. Ole Orvér, oneworld CEO, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, noting, “Our shared commitment to quality and service will enhance how oneworld customers are recognised and rewarded throughout their journey.”
In terms of reciprocal loyalty recognition, Taj InnerCircle Gold and Platinum members will soon be matched to oneworld's Sapphire tier, whilst Copper and Silver members will align with the Ruby tier. Additionally, oneworld Emerald members will be matched to Taj InnerCircle Gold, with Ruby and Sapphire members aligning with Taj InnerCircle Silver. Plans are underway to introduce miles earning opportunities on hotel stays across select oneworld partner airline programmes later this year
