Once the flyers buy flight delay insurance on the fizzy platform, it records the purchase details in a tamperproof network and is linked to global air traffic databases.
When the system detects that the flight is delayed for more than two hours, it automatically triggers the compensation.
AXA said that the coverage is totally transparent as it informs the flyers beforehand how much they will be reimbursed if their flight is delayed.
Compensation is automatic and immediate and users do not need to go through the hassle of filing claim manually.
