Easyjet to include scheduled airline failure insurance
EasyJet has joined forces with Mondial UK to include Scheduled Airline Failure Insurance (SAFI) in travel policies offered to its UK passengers.
The move is in response to the concerns highlighted by recent Government and Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) reports into the failure of some airlines and the impact this has on passengers
Beatriz Fernandez at easyJet said: “easyJet has gone from strength to strength, we now operate a fleet of 122 aircraft, carry over 33 million passengers annually and this year will be our most profitable ever.
“But the airline industry is incredibly competitive and there are airlines who are not as efficient as us, therefore passengers do need some additional protection.
“The introduction of SAFI in to easyJet’s travel insurance product demonstrates our commitment to all passengers, this move will give consumers reassurance and encourage other airlines to offer the same for their customers.”
