Air Austral has teamed up with the travel insurance broker Assurever (ex April International Voyage), to provide a "Health Protection Insurance" against Covid-19.
Marketed through the French airline company’s agencies, the coverage is distributed in conjunction with a multi-risk policy. It covers a maximum stay of 31 days.
For a rate equivalent to 1% of the plane ticket's price, the insurance covers:
- The extension of the passengers' stay (including hotel accommodation)
- Medical expenses in case of contamination
- Repatriation expenses (under certain conditions)
Plane tickets would be refundable in case of cancellation for:
- Covid-19 symptoms developed within 30 days prior to travel.
- Boarding denied by the authorities
- Positive test
- Travel restriction measures implemented by local authorities or the airline company
