Qatar Airways has entered into an agreement with the American International Group (AIG) to offer Travel Guard insurance to all Qatar Airways customers booking flights and holidays in Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait.

AIG’s Travel Guard programme offers three levels of insurance coverage and is designed to suit the individual needs of each customer including the highest level of medical expense coverage, trip interruption, travel delays, lost baggage, emergency travel services and more. Qatar Airways customers in Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait can benefit from the value-added programme for all their business and leisure travel and will receive an online certificate when they choose to buy the insurance cover.
