A partnership between Amadeus and insurance company AXA Partners will enable companies and business travellers using the cytric Travel & Expense online booking platform in Europe to get pay-as-you-go travel insurance, on-trip risk management and medical assistance.
Corporations will pay AXA Partners for the insurance and medical assistance services only when their employee actually travels rather than having to pay a traditional annual fee.
Samia Baliad, head of insurance pricing and sales, corporate travel at AXA Partners said: “Ensuring employee safety and security is rapidly becoming a priority in every corporate travel programme. Duty of care and risk assessment are emerging as key components of travel policies.
“Companies are seeking reliable and actionable risk intelligence that they can share with employees and travellers on the road in real-time. Therefore, we are convinced that partnering with Amadeus will help companies and their business travellers stay safe.”
Vasken Tokatlian, head of partnerships & alliances, corporations at Amadeus, said: “With this partnership, we deliver on our commitment to help corporations ensure the safety and well-being of their employees while on business trips by providing them with medical insurance as part of a truly end-to-end solution for business travellers.
“Adding this to our offer is particularly relevant in the current climate so that both companies and their employees can feel confident, safe and protected when undertaking future business travel.”
