Following business rescue undertakings, Travel Insurance Consultants (TIC) have reinstated the travel supplier insolvency cover on South African Airways (SAA).

In practice, this means that both TIC and the Bryte Insurance Company are now offering these essential insurance services across the travel trade, and providing protection for customers choosing to fly with SAA.

Beginning from Friday 14 February, 2020, Travel Insurance Consultants is now providing travel insolvency cover on all policies sold on SAA tickets.

Customers can now purchase tickets with renewed confidence in the knowledge that they are protected on every step of their journey through either TIC or Bryte Insurance.

This development represents a significant step forward for South African Airways, the global travel agency community and customers alike.

TIC, a division of Santam Limited said that this development is based on their confidence that the decisions taken during the business rescue process are in the best interests of stabilizing SAA.

Flight Centre, through all its wholly-owned brands, including Flight Centre Travel Group, FCM Travel Solutions, Corporate Traveller, Flight Centre Business Travel, Cruiseabout, and Flight Centre Associates have started selling SAA from 14 February, 2020.
