Emirates has launched a groundbreaking Comprehensive Travel Cover, becoming the first airline globally to offer such extensive travel insurance. This new product, available from today, provides passengers with conflict-related medical coverage up to $25,000, a complimentary 30-day trip extension, and support during travel disruptions, regardless of government travel advisories.
The insurance, developed in collaboration with Travel Guard, includes benefits such as trip cancellation cover, compensation for baggage delay or loss, and unlimited medical expense and emergency evacuation cover worldwide. Emirates will also manage hotel stays and rebook passengers on alternative airlines at no extra cost if flights are disrupted, ensuring seamless travel.
Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline, stated: “Listening to customer feedback, we realised that travel demand remains strong but there was a gap in the market with regards to travel insurance cover. Therefore, we acted to address our customers’ needs.”
Russel Antonio, Head of Global Business & Partnerships at Travel Guard, added: “By combining our strengths once again, this new comprehensive travel product offers enhanced protection that sets a new benchmark in the industry.”
The Comprehensive Travel Cover is available for purchase on emirates.com and can be added to existing bookings via the ‘Manage Booking’ option. It is accessible in multiple markets, including Singapore, the UK, and the UAE, providing travellers with added confidence and flexibility in their travel plans.
