Blink and Cover-More launch real-time travel disruption aid

Cover-More Europe, a global travel insurance provider, and Irish InsurTech Blink Parametric, have partnered to deliver a new parametric flight delay benefit for AnnualTravelInsurance.com customers in Ireland.

Cover-More Europe, a global travel insurance provider, and Irish InsurTech Blink Parametric, have partnered to deliver a new parametric flight delay benefit for AnnualTravelInsurance.com customers in Ireland.

The partnership has been formed to simplify the way travellers deal with flight disruptions by introducing automated, real-time support that removes complexity and accelerates resolution when delays occur.

As part of the collaboration, Cover-More Europe has launched its first parametric product: a flight delay benefit that activates automatically when a registered flight is delayed by at least three hours. Travellers receive an instant VIP lounge pass or a €30 cash payout, removing the need for paperwork, manual claims or wait times.

The new benefit is available to customers holding Super or Super Plus policies on AnnualTravelInsurance.com, whether on single-trip or annual multi-trip plans.

Policyholders only need to register their flight before departure. Blink Parametric then monitors global flight data, sending automatic notifications and enabling customers to select their preferred resolution if a qualifying delay occurs.

This new feature reflects Cover-More Europe’s ongoing commitment to creating practical innovations that enhance travel experiences and improve satisfaction among Irish customers, particularly during unexpected disruptions.

Cover-More Europe managing director Jason Whelan said, “I’m delighted we can now offer AnnualTravelInsurance.com customers a real-time benefit if their journey is disrupted by a flight delay. Having travel insurance already gives peace of mind, but being able to provide instant support like a lounge pass or cash payout right when it’s needed makes a real difference. It’s great to bring this level of convenience and reassurance to our customers”

Blink Parametric director of strategic accounts Richard Pollard said, “We’re delighted to collaborate with Cover-More Europe on their first parametric launch. Uniting two forward-thinking organisations, this initiative is driven by a shared commitment to redefining the travel insurance experience. Delivering immediate, automated resolutions during flight disruptions not only enhances customer satisfaction but also showcases how real-time technology can transform claims handling and service delivery in the insurance sector.”
