KUALA LUMPUR, 30 October 2023 - Tune Protect Group Berhad (“Tune Protect”) and AirAsia Aviation Group Limited (“AirAsia”) announce the launch of the newly enhanced AirAsia travel insurance, the AirAsia Comprehensive Travel PLUS, featuring the practical addition of Cashless Hospital Admission services for policies issued by Tune Protect Malaysia and Tune Protect Thailand. Commencing 19 October 2023, this innovative feature offers travellers a seamless and hassle-free experience when seeking medical assistance abroad.

The AirAsia Comprehensive Travel PLUS, featuring the Cashless Hospital Admission services is offered with a starting premium of as low as RM 74 for a return trip plan. This option is open for purchase to travellers departing from Malaysia and Thailand and can be conveniently accessed through all AirAsia online and offline booking platforms, including the Manage My Booking feature and Online Check-in via the airasia MOVE app.

Janet Chin, Chief Partnership Officer of Tune Protect said, "Our collaboration with AirAsia aims to enhance the travel experience for our customers by providing them with a comprehensive insurance coverage and simplifying the process of accessing medical care in foreign countries. The AirAsia Comprehensive Travel PLUS is a practical feature for travellers. With this newly added proposition, we are removing the hassle of paying for hospital admissions during overseas travel, which can take a toll on their finances. It reflects our commitment to offering our customers the best protection and peace of mind during their journeys."

Aside to the new addition of the Cashless Hospital Admission services, the AirAsia Comprehensive Travel PLUS include other benefits such as trip cancellation, flight delay, loss or damaged baggage, and loss of personal money and travel documents, among others.

We are dedicated to offering value-added product benefits and services that provide our guests convenience and peace of mind throughout their journeys.

With AirAsia Comprehensive Travel Plus, our guests can now explore the world worry-free, knowing that their medical needs will be efficiently addressed in the event of emergencies. More time to explore, less time to worry."

The key feature of this newly enhanced product is the Cashless Hospital Admission Service, which does not impact the insurance premium, or any other benefits and sum limits stated in the policy.

AirAsia passengers who have purchased the return trip plan of the Travel Insurance for flights departing from Malaysia or Thailand will automatically gain access to these features.
