On 5 April 2020, Etihad Guest launched a campaign to encourage members to donate their Etihad Guest Miles to support COVID-19 response in refugee settings.

Since the launch of the campaign, Etihad Guest members have donated over 10 million Etihad Guest Miles which is equivalent to 20 ventilators or almost 20,000 masks.

The initiative is in collaboration with the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) globally and with Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) in the Middle East.

Every Etihad Guest Mile donated so far has supported basic infection control and adequate containment measures.

Donated miles will also be used by ERC to purchase essential healthcare equipment including ventilators, gloves, masks and soap.

Etihad Guest is the award-winning loyalty programme of Etihad Airways. You can join here for free.
