New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS): Vijay Mallya-led Kingfisher Airlines Thursday said that it has entered into a frequent flyer agreement with American Airlines.

"This is yet another step towards strengthening the strong bilateral ties between the two airlines," said Anshu Sarin, vice president - Guest Loyalty and Kingfisher Holidays, Kingfisher Airlines.

According to Sarin, the agreement would not only benefit frequent flyers to redeem points but also to companies whose executives travel frequently.

The airline said that frequent flyers on American Airlines' flight would be able to redeem their points on Kingfisher's network.

"American Airlines' frequent flyers will be able to enjoy similar reciprocal benefits on the Kingfisher Airlines route network," said Sarin.
