. If one of its passengers is diagnosed with COVID-19 during their journey, the Dubai-based airline will cover their medical expenses, up to €150,000 . It will pay €100 per day for quarantine costs — such as a hotel room — for up to two weeks. The coverage is available for travel between now and October 31, 2020. It's valid for 31 days from "the moment you take your first flight, and it covers you even if you travel onwards to another city," Emirates said.
earlier this month, though the airline has managed to keep some revenue flowing by pivoting from passenger to cargo operations. The airline's COVID-19 coverage is provided through NEXtCARE, the airline said, an arm of travel insurance provider Allianz. Emirates said the coverage is free and is applied automatically, no extra registration necessary.
"It is an investment on our part, but we are putting our customers first, and we believe they will welcome this initiative," Emirates Group CEO Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum said in aWhile Emirates is the first airline to offer medical and quarantine expense coverage linked to the virus, various airlines and travel stakeholders have tried to boost customer confidence during the pandemic.
This is just a marketing strategy
Bullshit. They are just paying for the funeral really innit?
HonMoses_Kuria Great people love people.
Even funeral 😥😢
I don't know why this is so funny to me😂😂😂
Yeah but less than four months ago they still let visibly ill people on the plane. Coughing with no mask on 🥰
The reason I fear death is who will pay for my funeral. Now that fear is gone.
Would be interesting to see how this will work out?
Ooo really will they also resurrect you
Itiswinny 👌👌👌👌

Emirates to cover Covid-19 medical and funeral costs All very well EmiratesSupport but how about honouring your commitment to refund people you left stranded in NZ. Until then, anything you say is not to be trusted.
Covid 19 results taken within 36hrs required prior to travelling.
My country won't even pay for a face mask worth $0.05

Guess it’s a done deal once you reach funeral levels 🙄
t0nit0ne I was good till the funeral part😪
africaupdates EmiratesSupport how about emirates pay the family left behind the value for a human life? Let me see you put a price on that! It would have been better to do nothing than to come up with a statement like this. The collateral damage is too much even emirates cannot afford it.
I wonder how many funerals they have factored into their business case.
Funeral what!!😂
I'm a fan on Emirates but should someone look to claim I'm sure they would argue that it cannot be proven that the virus was contracted whilst flying with them.
I suppose its a step in the right direction. But, surely this will cost a fortune and or pass the costs onto flights.

Josiestweet Proving you caught it on the plane might be a problem

Emirates was very honest with me, returning the flight fares because of the covid-19.
