| FCTG new insurance

FLIGHT Centre Travel Group (FCTG) has launched new branded travel insurance – the first time the company has ever put its name insurance.

The product will include Cruiseabout Travel Insurance Chartered by Europ Assistance, and is available this week.

The insurance is bookable through Cruiseabout, Flight Centre, and Travel Associates, with other markets to launch in the coming months.

The exclusive insurance range is backed by global provider Europ Assistance, and allows FCTG’s core leisure brands to market a travel insurance product designed specifically for its key demographics and market segments.

FCTG Global Leisure Chief Executive Officer James Kavanagh said the new product range offers a more comprehensive and tailored insurance coverage for peace of mind when travelling.

“Our customers put immense trust in us to bring their travel experiences to life, and we firmly believe comprehensive travel insurance is a core part of this experience,” the FCTG head said.

“We believe this is a world class travel insurance offering for protection and peace of mind, and ultimately this will mean a better overall holiday experience for our customers.”
