A premium managing general agent (MGA) that offers travel insurance products in Canada, AwayCare led the initiative to provide flight delay services to Travel Insured International (TII), a US-based travel insurance provider.
TII will offer the AwayCare flight delay services, managed by Blink, under select plans in the US.
Blink Parametric chief commercial officer Carl Carter said:“This represents Blink Parametric’s first official launch of our flight disruption solution within the U.S. market. To be making this step with our valued partner AwayCare speaks volumes to the strength of our collaboration over the past 12 months.”
Blink detects the flight of registered travellers in real-time and intimates them if there is a delay. Besides automatically notifying the travellers, this service offers covered benefits under their plan’s terms.

TII vice president for sales and account management operations Isaac Cymrot said: “We continue to seek new and innovative ways to enhance our programs in service to our customers, and we strive to help travellers feel confident before, during, and after their trip.
“This new service – available within select plans – aligns with TII’s ongoing commitment to customer satisfaction.”

Blink teams up with global insurers and travel organisations across Europe, Asia, North America, and Central and Latin America.
