August 28, 2024—Vietnam Airlines, the country’s flagship carrier and a member of the SkyTeam alliance, has partnered with Loyalty Status Co, the global leader in status commercialization, to launch a status match program.

From today, elite status holders from dozens of eligible airlines* can apply for an upgrade to Lotusmiles Titanium, Gold or Platinum based on the status level they hold with their current airline. Approved members will receive status for 12 months and access the full suite of member benefits associated with that tier. Benefits include SkyPriority check-in, immigration, boarding, increased checked baggage and lounge access**

Through the partnership, Vietnam Airlines and Lotusmiles will have access to:

• Loyalty Status Co’s robust fraud mitigation tools and services ensure that every new member acquired is an authenticated high-value status holder.
• Direct marketing to Loyalty Status Co’s global database of frequent flyers.
• A seamless white-labelled customer experience.
• Quick processing times significantly increase the rate at which customers convert their flying over the new carrier.

“We are thrilled to launch our latest partner on the status match platform. We are always looking for opportunities to bring value to the industry and help our trusted partners achieve their goals,” said Mark Ross-Smith, CEO of Loyalty Status Co. “Through our partnership, Vietnam Airlines will increase market share, acquiring high-value frequent flyers while driving immediate direct revenue for the airline.
