The service from the BCAA and Blink includes both flight disruption and lost/delayed luggage real-time assistance.
Initially, the service will be offered as an option to single trip travel insurance policies.

In addition, the Blink Parametric Flight disruption service only needs a customer to register their flight details via a BCAA portal prior to travel. Blink will then monitor the flight in real-time. If needed, the BCAA customer is automatically notified and offered instant choices in line with their policy terms.
Assistance options include a choice of airport lounge access or a cash payment, issued in real time.
Similarly, the lost and delayed airline luggage solution offers real-time support to customers whose checked luggage cannot be located following an airport arrival.
“We are excited to be working with BCAA as they introduce real-time parametric solutions into their extensive travel insurance portfolio,” said Sid Mouncey, CEO of Blink Parametric.
