Sabirin Hj Abd Hamid, CEO of Royal Brunei Airlines, declared:

"At Royal Brunei, we aim to offer our passengers a seamless end-to-end experience, from booking their tickets to the end of their travel journey. This partnership with Chubb comes at a perfect time to provide them with peace of mind and a fuss-free booking experience for their upcoming travels. With the current open border situation, and shortage of staff in the travel industry globally, it is timely RB partnered with Chubb to provide a solution to manage any disruptions our passengers may encounter, that is beyond the control of the airline.

“In addition to the competitive travel insurance pricing, 24/7 assistance and coverage for Covid-19, passengers can purchase their travel insurance together with their air tickets or via Manage My Booking. The travel insurance is available now for the Brunei market and will soon be available for our other markets."

Chubb's Regional Head of Leisure & Business Travel in Asia Pacific, Brian Hogan, also replied:

"The launch is timely as travel rebounds across the globe. Borders are reopening and mobility restrictions are progressively being lifted. With travel insurance, including Covid-19 medical cover, travellers are regaining their confidence to take to the skies to explore the world again. We are proud of our collaboration with Royal Brunei Airlines to provide their passengers with peace of mind on their travels."

The agreement also features Hepstar services, in order to improve the insurance as well as boost booking and travel experiences for clients.

Brett Dyason, CEO of Hepstar, concluded:

"We've enjoyed a long-standing relationship with Chubb as they share our vision of changing the way travel insurance and other ancillaries are packaged and perceived by travellers.
