Etihad Guest, the loyalty programme of Etihad Airways announces a frequent flyer partnership with Taiwan-based STARLUX Airlines’ COSMILE loyalty programme. The partnership marks the next stage in the airlines' strategic relationship, building on the codeshare agreement signed in June 2025 and the launch of Etihad's direct services to Taipei in September last year.
From 4 August, Etihad Guest members can redeem Etihad Guest Miles for flights in Business and Economy cabins across STARLUX's network, giving them expanded access to destinations across Asia, North America, and Europe; including onward connections to popular destinations such as Los Angeles, Phoenix and Seattle in the US and Okinawa, Kobe and Nagoya in Japan.
Later this year, the partnership will expand further. Etihad Guest members will also be able to earn Etihad Guest Miles when flying across the STARLUX network, and COSMILE members will, for the first time, be able to both earn and redeem miles across Etihad's expanding global network of more than 100 destinations.
The loyalty partnership follows the strategic codeshare agreement Etihad and STARLUX signed in June 2025, and the launch of Etihad's Abu Dhabi–Taipei service in September 2025, operated by Etihad’s Boeing 787-9.
