Czech Airlines will offer passengers the option of purchasing travel insurance with their tickets, through AIG Europe. The service is designed for all Czech Airlines passengers, including on code-share flights, as well as for passengers of the low-cost subsidiary CLICK4SKY.com.
When booking a ticket through www.czechairlines.com or www.click4sky.com, passengers will be able to purchase travel insurance and trip cancellation insurance with their tickets on very advantageous terms.
The agreement on cooperation in terms of travel insurance was signed (15-Jan-09) in Prague by the Managing Director of the Czech Airlines Customer Relations Management Section, František Šír, and General Manager of the Czech branch of AIG Europe, Luděk Menčík.
Czech Airlines’ Vice-President for Marketing and Product Development, Petr Pištělák said, “By offering a broad range of additional services, Czech Airlines wants to appeal to a broad range of passengers. To them, travelling with Czech Airlines pays, because they will save on time and money in acquiring a number of the additional services that are required for comfortable travel. This cooperation has no like in the travel insurance business in the Czech Republic.”
Insurance will be available for purchase through the Czech Airlines Internet booking system at the end of first quarter. In the first stage, insurance will be available to passengers from priority markets, such as the Czech Republic, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Slovakia, but also, for example, for passengers from Romania.
