Emirates covers customers from COVID-19 expenses

World’s first airline to offer its passengers free cover for COVID-19 medical expenses and quarantine costs

Emirates has just announced that the airline will cover medical expenses of up to EUR 150,000 and quarantine costs of EUR 100 per day for 14 days, should their customers be diagnosed with COVID-19 during their travel, while they are away from home. This cover is provided by the airline, free of cost to its customers.

This makes the airline the first commercial airline in the world to offer customers free global cover for COVID-19 medical expenses and quarantine costs should they incur these costs during their travel.

This cover for COVID-19 related medical expenses and quarantine costs is offered by Emirates free of cost to its customers regardless of class of travel or destination. This cover is immediately effective for customers flying on Emirates until 31 October 2020 (first flight to be completed on or before 31 October 2020). It is valid for 31 days from the moment they fly the first sector of their journey. This means Emirates customers can continue to benefit from the added assurance of this cover, even if they travel onwards to another city after arriving at their Emirates destination.
