Kenya: Emirates Airline Offers Customers Travel Insurance

Nairobi — Emirates Airline has signed an agreement with UK-based insurer, Bupa Travel Services, to offer customers travel cover.

The exclusive insurance product will be available to its customers around the world.

Emirates travellers managing their flight bookings online will be able to opt for travel insurance protection which has been specially tailored.

These offers include unlimited cover in event of a medical emergency, credit card theft, and even kennel and cutlery fees.

Unlike most other offerings in the market, the insurance cover can be purchased by almost all nationalities (except residents of USA, Canada and Switzerland) for various trip durations, and for travellers up to the age of 80.

"Emirates is pleased to partner with Bupa Travel Services to provide our customers with tailored travel insurance options, made conveniently available when they purchase their flights on-line with us," said Emirates regional manager for East Africa, Ali Al Shamsi.

BUPA Travel Services is the UK's leading health and care organisation.

It offers extensive travel cover for weddings abroad, business trips, gap year travel and winter sports.
