Blink Parametric, a provider of innovative real-time insurance solutions, has partnered with Travel Insurance Saver to launch a parametric flight delay solution designed to enhance the customer experience by providing immediate assistance for travel disruptions.

The partnership was formed to address the growing need for real-time, data-driven solutions in a world where travel is becoming increasingly unpredictable.

Blink Parametric’s technology, integrated through Firemelon’s Magenta Insurance System platform, will enable Travel Insurance Saver customers to benefit from fast, automated responses to flight delays.

Blink Parametric, known for its award-winning flight disruption solutions, monitors flight schedules in real-time.

When a delay is detected, policyholders are notified and offered either airport lounge access or an instant payout.

The system’s parametric model uses data to automatically trigger these responses, streamlining the process for customers.

Meanwhile, Travel Insurance Saver offers travel insurance products, and their new Blink-enabled service is designed to provide real-time support during disruptions.

The new solution will be available for free to Travel Insurance Saver’s Gold customers, while Silver and Bronze customers will have the option to purchase the service as an add-on. This ensures that a wider range of customers can access the service, which provides £50 payouts or lounge access for delays of two hours or more.

Simon Neicho, head of commercial at Rothwell & Towler, expressed excitement about the partnership, stating, “We’re excited to partner with Blink Parametric to bring their real-time flight disruption technology to Travel Insurance Saver. This collaboration underscores our commitment to innovation, transforming flight delays from a source of stress to an opportunity for comfort and immediate financial support.”

Karen Beales, Managing Director at Financial and Legal Insurance Company Limited, which is underwriting the product, commented, “This is an important move in providing greater support to outbound travellers from the UK. Customer-centric benefits are central to evolving travel insurance trends and I am delighted that we are extending our underwriting support to Travel Insurance Saver for this cover.”
