IBAC launches new Crew Card- adding ID90 travel perks

The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) has introduced a new Crew Card with security enhancements following a recent partnership with ID90 Travel to provide special member benefits to cardholders.

“We are excited to launch the new Crew Card with its added ID90 Travel membership,” IBAC Director General Kurt Edwards said. “In addition to its globally recognized identity benefits, the Crew Card now offers special travel discounts as a well-deserved perk for card holders in the global business aviation community that work hard to provide first class services to their customers.”

The Crew Card was first introduced by IBAC in 1985 and is increasingly requested by governments as a part of crew visa applications. The new card is aligned with provisions from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Document 9303 and has a bar code system with origination details for enhanced security. In addition, IBAC Crew Card subscribers can opt-in to ID90 Travel benefits that offer the members exclusive rates for hotels, all-inclusive resorts, cruises, rental cars and last-minute deals (not including air travel).

IBAC Crew Cards are meant to identify crew members linked to business aircraft, easing ramp access and assisting customs identification. The IBAC Crew Card is issued to aviation professionals of business aviation organizations that are currently members of one of the 15 IBAC member associations.

Once the IBAC Crew Card subscriber’s credentials are confirmed, they will be granted access to travel deals through the ID90 Travel mobile app, which is available in most common app stores. The ID90 Travel platform was built for the aviation industry, including 1.8 million hotels, all-inclusive resorts and cruise lines, as well as a large selection of rental wars worldwide in inventory.
