MONTREAL – Aeroplan (TSX:AIM) says its members can now start earning and redeeming points for travel with Air India.

The move will give Aeroplan members a wider choice on routes connecting North America, Europe, Asia and Australia via India.

The addition of India’s flag carrier airline brings Aeroplan’s total number of airline partners to 32.

Aeroplan, which was spun off from Air Canada as part of its restructuring, is owned by loyalty rewards company Aimia.
