IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) and Singapore Airlines (SIA) have announced a new partnership aimed at improving travel experiences for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as they grow and innovate.
This collaboration combines IHG’s Business Edge program with SIA’s HighFlyer business travel scheme, both tailored to meet the needs of SMEs, which make up 90% of businesses globally.
Starting May 1, 2025, eligible members of SIA’s HighFlyer program who register for IHG Business Edge will receive a free Gold Elite upgrade in the IHG One Rewards program after their first qualifying stay. This upgrade grants access to travel benefits such as guaranteed discounts, late check-out, flexible cancellation options, and exclusive offers across IHG’s worldwide hotels.
Vivek Bhalla, Managing Director for Southeast Asia and Korea at IHG, said, “Partnering with globally respected brands like Singapore Airlines helps us enhance our offerings and provide more value to different types of travelers.”
He added, “These partnerships help us reach more travelers, create unique experiences, and position IHG as the top choice. We are excited to work with Singapore Airlines to support SMEs in the region as they pursue their business goals.”
This partnership marks a significant step in making business travel smoother and more rewarding for small and medium-sized companies.
