Customers flying on Africa World Airlines on its domestic routes can now gain loyalty points which they can use to redeem free tickets for future travel under its "Fly 4 Free Programme".

The Fly 4 Free Programme, which was launched on 21st September to commemorate the second anniversary of the airline’s operations, is a loyalty and frequent flyer programme aimed at enabling frequent flyers to accrue points for future use, as a way of rewarding customers for their loyalty to the airline.

Mr.Apiigy Afenu, Chief Operating Officer of AWA, said the programme was a result of the airline’s desire to reward its loyal customers, who had contributed to the success of the airline and would run indefinitely.

Under the programme, customers are entitled to one free ticket after they had bought four return tickets for any domestic route run by AWA.

The free ticket can be used to fly to any domestic destination of the passenger’s choice.

“Every time you fly Africa World Airlines, you earn a part of your next free ticket. When you have generated a minimum balance of four return tickets within 30 days of travelling, you will be entitled to a free ticket to any of our destinations,” he said.

Passengers must however register with the airline’s network database to be eligible. This can be done by downloading a form from its website, filling and submitting it, either in person to AWA staff or by email to reservations.support @flyafricaworld.com.

The airline also launched a promotion for customers on its Nigerian route to coincide with the 54th Independence celebrations of Nigeria on October 1.

Dubbed The AWA 9JA Double Birthday Promo, it allows customers to buy a return ticket to or from Lagos on Africa World Airlines for a promotional fee of $200.00 valid from 21st September to 5th October, 2014.
