In a statement on Monday (27 August), Mr Rabe said: “We're extremely fortunate to have someone of Nat's calibre join our organization and round out our solid leadership team.”

“Having worked with Nat in the past, I believe his knowledge of the global loyalty and aviation space, strong relationships and corporate finance skills will be a huge asset to our business going forward.”

The news comes less than a week after it was announced the firm is set to sell its Aeroplan loyalty programme to an Air Canada-led consortium.

Following the end of Aeroplan’s partnership with Aimia, Air Canada set its sights on creating its own loyalty rewards programme that would launch in 2020.
