Etihad Airways has extended its COVID-19 global wellness insurance cover until September 30, 2021.

Guests who are diagnosed with COVID-19 during their trip won’t have to worry about medical expenses or quarantine costs.

It’s an added benefit automatically provided to all passengers, and there are no forms to complete.

"As Etihad continues to gradually expand its services to up to 60 destinations this spring, the airline wants to instil confidence to travel and hopes this additional cover will reassure guests Etihad is doing everything it can to keep them safe and protected," said Martin Drew, Senior Vice President Sales & Cargo, Etihad Airways.

The global insurance cover was introduced in September last year.
