In the wake of coronavirus, Dubai based carrier Emirates is the first airline providing free global cover for passenger’s COVID-19 health expenses including quarantine costs.
With the spike in coronavirus cases, passengers are getting worried about their health and trying to avoid unnecessary travel. To give the passengers some peace of mind during their journey, Emirates has taken an additional step to get the anxious passengers back. Emirates has become the first air carrier who has decided to take the responsibility of all passengers.
Emirates has worked hard to implement measures to mitigate the risk of infection at every step of the customer’s journey, and they have revised their reservation policies to offer more freedom to the passengers.
With this flexible free global cover, passengers from Emirates will be able to claim medical expenses of up to €150,000 and quarantine costs of up to €100 per day for 14 days if they are diagnosed with COVID-19 coronavirus while away from home.
