IHG Hotels & Resorts and Singapore Airlines (SIA) have joined forces to enhance business travel solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the Asia-Pacific region. This partnership brings together IHG Business Edge and SIA’s HighFlyer programme, both designed to streamline travel for SMEs, which account for 90% of businesses worldwide.

From 1 May 2025, eligible SIA HighFlyer members who register for IHG Business Edge will receive a complimentary Gold Elite upgrade within the IHG One Rewards programme after their first qualifying stay. This unlocks a range of exclusive benefits, including:
- Guaranteed discounts across IHG’s global hotel portfolio.

Strengthening Business Travel Solutions
IHG and SIA’s collaboration provides SMEs with cost-effective, seamless travel experiences, enabling them to expand, innovate, and grow with ease.

We are excited to support SMEs in achieving their growth ambitions.”
The IHG Business Edge & HighFlyer Advantage
- IHG Business Edge, launched in 2018, offers SMEs a dedicated hotel booking solution with discounted rates, flexible bookings, and loyalty perks.
- SIA’s HighFlyer programme provides corporate travel rewards, including preferential airfares and HighFlyer points that can be redeemed for future travel costs and premium services such as priority waitlists and seat upgrades.
Building on Previous Partnerships
