According to Zhito Finance APP, Delta Air Lines (DAL.US) will affiliate its frequent flyer program SkyMiles with Uber Technologies (UBER.US) this spring, while the airline will terminate its existing partnership with Lyft (LYFT.US) in April.

According to the new partnership, SkyMiles members can earn 1 mile for every dollar spent on Uber Eats orders, 1 mile for every dollar spent on UberX airport rides, 2 miles for every dollar spent on Uber's premium rides, and 3 miles for every dollar spent on Uber Reserve trips.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi stated in a statement: "Since 15% of Uber ride bookings start or end at airports, we know customers can accumulate miles with Delta Air Lines with just a tap of a button."

Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said: "This partnership will create more choices for passengers, allowing them to reach their destinations in the way that suits them best."

As of April 7, customers can still earn miles through Lyft rides. A spokesperson for Delta Air Lines stated: "Customers with linked accounts will receive direct communication from Delta Air Lines and Lyft about the transition in the coming days."

Delta Air Lines has also launched its AI digital tool Delta Concierge, which will be added to its Fly Delta app this year. The tool will also connect with Joby's (JOBY.US) electric air taxi service, which is expected to begin operating at Delta Air Lines' New York and Los Angeles hubs in the coming years, pending regulatory approval.
