AXA Hong Kong and Macau and HK Express Airways, backed by AXA Partners, have launched complimentary flight delay parametric protection for eligible HK Express customers who purchase U-First.
This makes HK Express the first airline in Asia to offer parametric delay benefit.
In addition, AXA and HK Express have introduced a range of travel and flight protection products since launching their partnership.
If a flight is delayed by 90 minutes or more, travellers will receive a Worldwide Airport VIP Lounges Pass (valid for six months) or receive a cash benefit of HKD80 (limited to bookings with first flight departing from Hong Kong).
Kenneth Lai, chief general insurance officer, AXA Hong Kong and Macau, said: “As a trusted partner to our customers, AXA is committed to providing innovative protection solutions through cross-industry collaborations. Building on our partnership with HK Express, we are pleased to further strengthen our collaboration by introducing a new flight delay parametric protection product. This innovative solution features a simple, transparent, and efficient mechanism to meet customer needs. Looking ahead, we will continue to develop diverse protection solutions to comprehensively address our customers’ needs and provide a fast and convenient protection experience.”
KK Ong, commercial director, HK Express, added: “As Hong Kong’s only low-cost airline, we don’t just provide affordable fares, but also offer customers the flexibility to choose from various value-added products based on their travel needs, enhancing their overall experience to ‘Live More’. Our strengthened collaboration with insurance giant AXA ensures that U-First customers are now protected against flight delays, reducing the hassle of unexpected hold-ups. With our current partnership protection products, including single-trip travel insurance, annual travel insurance, and personal accident insurance, we offer comprehensive coverage to ensure our travellers can enjoy their journeys worry-free and ‘Gotta Go’ any time!”
