Vistara announced that it has entered into a partnership with Allianz Partners to offer optional travel insurance to its passengers. “Effective from 16th February, Vistara customers have the option to take travel insurance while booking their domestic or international flights,” Vistara said in a statement.

The option is currently available to Indian citizens living in India and will be expanded to other global markets like Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Europe in the second phase by the year, it said. The optional travel insurance coverage will give protection in different cases such as trip cancellations and interruptions, travel delays, missed connections, medical emergencies abroad, and baggage issues, it added.
