AirAsia INSURE Travel Protection extended to Japan
KUALA LUMPUR, 10 April 2012 – With the steady rise of its number
of guests travelling to and from Japan, AirAsia X, the long-haul low
cost carrier affiliate of AirAsia has widened its AirAsia INSURE travel
protection plan to the thriving Japanese market.
The service, available within AirAsia's online booking system from April
2012, is provided via an alliance with Japanese insurer Sompo Japan
Insurance Inc.
AirAsia guests who have advanced booking with the airline are encouraged
to add on the AirAsia INSURE travel protection plan by using the
'Manage my Booking' feature on AirAsia..
AirAsia X started flying to Japan in December 2010 with its first stop
Haneda in Tokyo, followed by Osaka in December 2011. Since then, it has
flown in excess of 70,000 guests between its base in Kuala Lumpur and
Japan, making it one of the most popular low
cost carriers in the country.
Hiroyasu Deguchi, Executive Officer, General Manager, Corporate Communication Planning Department of Sompo Japan
says: "Sompo Japan indemnifies policy holders who suffered a loss or
damage, and provides emergency medical assistance by directing them
to appropriate hospitals in the foreign locality during their overseas
trip. Customers can be assured of our proven track record and high
service standards. AirAsia INSURE and Sompo Japan will tighten the
alliance further in order to meet customers' diverse
needs as the low cost carrier business continues its exponential
expansion.”
