Nipun Aggarwal, Chief Commercial and Transformation Officer at Air India added: “The launch of this travel insurance … will help our customers to protect themselves against multiple risks. Integrated into our website booking flow, and at the contract centres, this is yet another endeavour to enhance the travel experience of our passengers at every touchpoint.”
