Insurance

What is the difference between an electronic and a paper insurance policy?

The only difference is convenience in buying and receiving the policy. An electronic policy cannot be lost, and in case of further appeals to the insurance company, there is no need to present an original.

What does the Atlantic Insurance policy cover?

The policy covers incidents during your flight, and your baggage while it is in the carrier’s care. It also includes compensation in cases delay of scheduled flight for more than 4 hours or cancellation of one or more flights specified, resulting in the change of the date or time of the beginning of the transportation.

More information on the insurance conditions and the procedure for the settlement of claims, including the list of documents required, is included in the Insurance Rules.

Will I get a refund on the insurance policy if I cancel my trip?

If you apply for a full ticket refund, the associated insurance policy is terminated automatically, and Cyprus Airways will refund 100% of the insurance premium. (In this case, there are no additional documents; the policy is terminated on the grounds that the carriage agreement is terminated.) In the case of a partial ticket refund (for example, for just one flight), the insurance premium is not returned.

If you want to voluntarily terminate an insurance policy prior to the beginning of validity period of the insurance contract, you need to direct the request about cancellation of the contract of insurance to Cyprus Airways via form.

What happens to my insurance policy if I change my flight dates?

In case of voluntary or forced change of flight dates, as stated in the insurance agreement the following shall be taken into account:

  • If the ticket is exchanged before the first flight stated on the ticket, the Cyprus Airways Contact Centre can terminate the insurance policy at your request, with a 100% refund of the insurance premium.
  • If the change of dates is partial, and occurs after travel has started, the insurance agreement may not be reissued. If the travel duration is shortened, protection against all insurance risks remains valid in full.

My flight was delayed. How can be compensated for expenses?

Please contact the airline or the relevant airport authorities to obtain documents confirming the flight delay. This may take the form of a note of the actual flight time on a document (boarding pass, etc.), or a certificate confirming the flight delay (or the actual departure time).

You must notify Atlantic Insurance within 3 calendar days after your return, by phoning + 357 22 886 000 , or by emailing travelclaims@atlantic.com.cy.

What should I do if my baggage is lost, damaged, or delayed?

You should promptly notify the relevant services of any baggage loss, damage, or a delay. These include the baggage tracing staff, who can be found near the baggage claim area, police representatives, or other services. You should file with them an application, and then receive a document certifying loss, damage, or delay of baggage. This may be a Property Irregularity Report (PIR), a certificate from a law enforcement body (e.g. the police), a general report, or another document certifying the event. The document must have details of the issuing organization and the date of issue. You must notify Atlantic Insurance), or + 357 22 886 000 (other countries), or email travelclaims@atlantic.com.cy not later than 3 days after the baggage is lost.
