Emirates Airlines offers Rs 1.3 crore coronavirus insurance to flyers

As more and more Covid-19 related travel restrictions get relaxed around the world, most airlines are struggling to fly planes with only 20-30 percent capacity. Emirates Airlines, however, has come up with a solution that will give confidence to travellers regardless of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Emirates Airlines has announced that it will cover medical expenses of up to 150,000 euros or Rs 1.33 crore and quarantine costs of 100 euros or Rs 8,885 per day for 14 days, should the passenger be diagnosed with Covid-19 during their travels. This insurance cover is provided to the customer free of cost, effectively immediately after purchasing a ticket.
