Air France passengers can now sign up to BlueBiz, KLM's existing corporate benefits programme.
Before, only KLM customers have been able to take part in the BlueBiz loyalty scheme, but Air France passengers in the UK and Ireland can now sign up.
The joint corporate benefits scheme is aimed at small and medium enterprises, with Blue Credits earnt for the company every time its employees travel with Air France or KLM. These points are earnt in addition to an employees' individual Flying Blue miles, for the Air France KLM frequent flyer programme.
Blue Credits can be converted into flights and upgrades to any destination in the airlines' global network. The number earnt varies according to the route flown and class of travel, and the points remain valid for between 24 and 36 months. It is free to join, with no minimum number of trips to be made.
Jean Wieviorka, Air France KLM's VP corporate and distribution, said: "Small and medium enterprises are looking for an easy-to-use corporate benefits programme enabling them to make additional savings on their travel budget.
"By developing a new programme designed on the best characteristics of the former Air France and KLM programmes, the Group offers small and medium-sized businesses extended coverage of its entire network and partners."
