to offer car rental benefits to the 730 million customers travelling annually with the members of SkyTeam, a world leading
airline alliance. Hertz already works with more than half of the SkyTeam partner member airlines, so it was a progressive move
for us to extend our relationship to the full alliance. As a proud partner of SkyTeam, we look forward to providing a seamless
fly-drive experience for our mutual customers."

and we are excited to take Frequent Flyer perks up a gear through our partnership with Hertz, one of the world's leading car
rental brands. Our aim at SkyTeam is to offer the best end-to-end travel experience for our customers. Extending loyalty benefits
