On Tuesday (September 29, 2020), the Dubreuil Aéro Group announced that their airline subsidiaries French bee and Air Caraïbes will now offer complimentary COVID-19 insurance coverage. The insurance, which is a first for a French company, is automatically included in the price of a ticket and is valid for travel between October 1st and March 31, 2021. The airlines have partnered with the travel insurance firm Assurever and coverage includes COVID-19 related hospital costs of up to €150,000, accommodation costs of up to €80/day for up to 14 days and the cost of ticket changes, if a return flight must be changed. The coverage remains in force for up to 30 days after departure. In Tuesday’s announcement, a joint statement from French bee’s Commercial Director, Sophie Hocquez, and Air Caraïbes Deputy Managing Director, Edmond Richard, declared,
“We are very pleased to be able to offer our customers this unprecedented assistance. Due to the difficult times we are all going through, we must keep on traveling!
