Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Airways has said it would cover medical and quarantine costs for passengers if they contract the new coronavirus after traveling on one of its flights, Reuters reported.
Medical costs of up to 150,000 euros ($177,000) and quarantine costs of up to 100 euro a day for 14 days will be covered by Etihad for its passengers who contract the disease within 31 days of first travel.
“This additional cover will not only instill confidence to travel but also reassure our guests that we are doing all we can to keep them safe and protected,” Etihad Vice President Duncan Bureau said in a statement.
