Bolttech and Tune Protect to insure AirAsia travellers
Insurtech firm bolttech, in partnership with reinsurance firm Tune Protect, will provide coverage to Hong Kong customers of airline AirAsia
The two companies will work together to offer optional travel insurance to AirAsia customers via the airline’s website for all flights departing from Hong Kong.
Travellers can choose between two plans – Life Comprehensive, and Plus Comprehensive – which will offer a range of protection against personal accidents, trip cancellation, and baggage and flight delay, as well as offering 24-hour travel assistance.
One notable feature of the travel insurance is the on-time guarantee, which will automatically pay out to policyholders if they experience a delay of at least two hours.
“We’re thrilled to provide Hong Kong travellers with convenient protection and peace of mind through AirAsia Travel Insurance,” said Alister Musgrave, Regional General Manager for Hong Kong and Taiwan at bolttech. “Our collaboration with Tune Protect highlights our commitment to improving our partners’ offerings and providing customers greater choice, ease, and a superior customer experience.”
Bolttech previously announced a separate partnership with FWD Financial to launch a “comprehensive travel coverage plan” called MyTravel for Hong Kong residents earlier this year.
