  • Loyalty Programs: the Vital Safety Feature for Airlines to Survive COVID-19
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: https://www.emerald.com/insight/2516-8142.htm Airline loyalty Loyalty programs: the vital programs safety feature for airlines to survive COVID-19 Manuel E. Pascual Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism, Florida International University, Miami, Florida, USA, and Received 9 March 2021 Revised 13 April 2021 Lisa Nicole Cain Accepted 14 April 2021 Hospitality and Tourism Management, Florida International University Biscayne Bay Campus, North Miami, Florida, USA Abstract Purpose – The airline industry has been severely impacted by COVID-19 due to widespread travel restrictions. Its current response is crucial to ensure continued operations after the global pandemic is resolved. One resource the airlines are leveraging is loyalty programs. This study aims to examine the viability of leveraging loyalty programs in times of crisis. Design/methodology/approach – This study employs a case study methodology to examine how one company, American Airlines, has used its loyalty program to survive a pandemic and alleviate the financial costs associated with limited and restricted travel. Findings – American Airlines’ AAdvantage loyalty program structure may be used as a benchmark to understand how airlines can anchor their loyalty base to reinvigorate travel interest and use these programs as safeguards in critical instances that may arise in the future. Research limitations/implications – The case was bound by the fact that the pandemic was still a threat during the time of analysis. The findings of this case study go beyond the airline industry and may inform other hospitality and tourism organizations on the benefits of loyalty programs in times of financial distress.
