FlyEasy debuts in Asia Pacific through Blink Parametric and Zurich Edge partnership

Blink Parametric has expanded its innovative parametric travel insurance offering by launching FlyEasy in partnership with Zurich Indonesia and Zurich Edge.

This new flight disruption cover provides real-time benefits such as VIP lounge access for delayed flights, seamlessly integrated into Zurich Indonesia’s travel insurance product via the Zurich Edge platform.

FlyEasy leverages parametric technology to deliver instant benefits when a flight delay is detected. Customers who pre-register their flight details benefit from real-time monitoring, and if their flight is delayed by at least two hours, they automatically receive lounge access. This fully digital process eliminates the need for traditional claims filing, simplifying the experience for travellers. Lounge passes are valid for up to six months, offering flexibility to customers who may not use them on the day of disruption.

This launch is part of a broader agreement between Blink Parametric and Zurich signed in January 2024, which aims to extend award-winning flight delay solutions to customers across the Asia Pacific region. The integration with Zurich Indonesia follows a successful earlier rollout with Singapore-based OTA Klook in March, showcasing Blink’s commitment to enhancing travel experiences throughout the region.

Richard Pollard, director of strategic accounts at Blink Parametric, said, “This latest Zurich Indonesia integration coincides directly with our strategic move to further expand and support our business development and partner activities across the APAC region.

“Our work with the Zurich team this year has been significant, with two successful launches to date. It’s now possible for Zurich partners to tap into the Zurich Edge platform and deploy our real-time travel assistance solution under the FlyEasy brand with speed and efficiency – exactly how it should be!”

Zurich Indonesia’s head of digital, Sukma Darman, commented, “One of Zurich Edge’s key objectives is to bring a fresh perspective on insurance to our partners and customers so that we can deliver personalised, customer-centric solutions using next-gen technology. Blink Parametric have helped us to achieve successful travel insurance integrations for the Asia Pacific region throughout this year, including delivery of innovative real-time assistance for our valued customers when they need us.”

Blink Parametric, known for its pioneering approach to travel InsurTech, provides real-time solutions for flight disruptions and lost luggage. Its products are customisable and designed for high-frequency, low-value claims, enhancing operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
