Jet Airways, ICICI Lombard announce 'Jetprotect'

Jet Airways and ICICI Lombard have launched a unique overseas and domestic travel insurance product 'JetProtect' which offers security against possible risks during travel. Being an online offering, the policy can be purchased through Jet Airways' website – www.jetairways.com.

The overseas and domestic travel insurance policy covers a host of situations such as medical expenses caused by accidents, possible loss from trip cancellation, loss or delay of checked in baggage, compassionate visit by a relative in case of illness and much more.

The insurance policy can be purchased on the airline website simultaneously while booking flight tickets. In case a Jet Airways ticket has already been purchased through any other channel, customers have the option of purchasing insurance by visiting the 'Purchase Policy' section under 'Plan Your Travel' on jetairways.com.

The e-policy is issued instantly without any paperwork with immediate confirmation via email and sms. Policy servicing such as changes or extensions can be submitted online and claims can be intimated 24x7 on a toll free number.

'Jet Protect' covers claims arising out of acts of terrorism. It also includes a special cover to protect the customers' home against the risk of burglary or fire while the airline customer is travelling in India.

Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, CEO, Jet Airways said, "JetProtect is one more innovative initiative from Jet Airways which ensures convenient purchase of travel insurance as well as peace of mind. JetProtect has been created after extensive research and competitive benchmarking and is one of the best insurance products offered by airlines across the world."
