(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avis Budget Group, Inc.
(NASDAQ:CAR), a leading global provider of mobility solutions, and International
Airlines Group (IAG), one of the world's largest airline groups carrying more
than 100 million passengers each year, have renewed and expanded their global
partnership.
As part of the exclusive multi-year deal, Avis Car Rental and Budget Car Rental
will be the only car rental brands available for booking through British
Airways, Iberia and Iberia Express; with Aer Lingus to follow at a later date.
The agreement also includes exclusivity with IAG's loyalty programs, including
British Airways Executive Club, Aer Club from Aer Lingus, Iberia Plus and the

for bookings via the British Airways Executive Club, Avios Travel Rewards
Programme and Iberia Plus loyalty programs.

provide our partners and their customers with best-in-class products and
service," said Mark Servodidio, president, International, Avis Budget Group.
"We're thrilled to strengthen our relationship and look forward to working
together to further provide a seamless travel solution."
"This partnership dates back more than 20 years when Avis Car Rental teamed up
with our loyalty programme, Iberia Plus, followed by the British Airways
Executive Club," said Silvia Cairo, head of commercial planning and policy, IAG.
"Since then, Avis, and later Budget, have consistently delivered world-class
services to our customers. We're excited to renew our agreement with Avis Budget
Group and expand the relationship to offer a complete range of car rental
options to our airlines."
