The Travel Smart Insurance package, is co-branded. The product is available for sale and distribution from all Gulf Air offices in Bahrain by 1 June 2005. The product will also roll out in Gulf Air sales offices in the UAE and Oman during the coming months. The product provides comprehensive, all-in-one insurance benefits that a passenger would require. Certain covers such as medical, baggage, sub-aqua, over-land travel and hazardous sports may be selected upon passengers request.
"In line with our customer-centric focus and our ongoing commitment to enhance or add to the customer experience, we are working on offering complementary products and services," said Ahmed Al-Hammadi, Vice-President Finance, signing the agreement on behalf of Gulf Air. "We see this as another significant way in which we add value to the whole travel experience we offer. We believe the availability of travel insurance in partnership with AXA Insurance will simplify the travel process and offer our customers convenience."
"With 50 years of service AXA Insurance (Gulf) is a known and trusted name in the region, where we were pioneers of insurance," said Richard Morrison, Country Manager of AXA Insurance. "Our well-established product family, which includes comprehensive travel insurance, has a proven track record, that will make a significant contribution to this new partnership."
The first phase of the project is underway where Gulf Air employees are being trained to offer appropriate advice on the insurance cover.
