“The introduction of global Covid-19 insurance, in partnership with AXA, builds on stringent measures already in place as part of our Etihad Wellness programme, championed by our Wellness Ambassadors.
“This additional cover will not only instil confidence to travel but also reassure our guests that we are doing all we can to keep them safe and protected.
“As more countries start opening their borders, we are making it as easy as possible for our guests to plan their next trip, hassle free.”
All Etihad tickets regardless of date of booking, traveling before December 31st will include the insurance.
Guests with existing bookings do not need to do anything – they are automatically enrolled into the programme.
