AXA secures Ryanair partnership
by David Masters
AXA Travel Insurance is to offer travel insurance to passengers of low-cost airline Ryanair following an agreement between the two companies.
Under the terms of the deal, starting September 2010, AXA will offer Ryanair’s 67 million passengers single-trip, multi-trip and annual travel insurance policies on ryanair.com.
Michael Cawley of Ryanair said the partnership with AXA will provide passengers with a “competitively priced, tailor-made travel insurance product which suits their needs”.
Until recently, Ryanair passengers automatically had the cost of travel insurance added to the price of their airline ticket.
However, this changed on 2 April to comply with new EU rules on price transparency.
This week Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary announced that passengers are to be charged for using the toilet on Ryanair planes.
