(TAN): Etihad Airways has introduced a Covid-19 global wellness insurance cover as part of Etihad Wellness, the airlines’ new health and hygiene programme.
The global wellness insurance will cover up to EUR 150,000 (USD 177,543) of medical costs and up to EUR 100 (USD 118) a day of quarantine costs in case of a positive diagnosis for 14 days. This applies to travellers diagnosed with Covid-19 when they fly with Etihad.
Duncan Bureau, SVP, sales and distribution, Etihad Airways, said: “The safety, health, and wellbeing of our guests and employees is our top priority, during and beyond the flight. The introduction of global Covid-19 insurance, in partnership with AXA, builds on stringent measures already in place as part of our Etihad Wellness programme… we are doing all we can to keep them safe and protected.”
All Etihad tickets upto December 31, regardless of date of booking, will include Covid-19 insurance. Guests with existing bookings don’t need to do anything — they are automatically enrolled into the programme. The insurance is valid worldwide for 31 days from the first day of travel.
