Awash Insurance has won the bid to provide health insurance coverage to passengers of Ethiopian Airlines, formalising the partnership at a signing ceremony held last week at the Skylight Hotel. Travellers will be able to purchase coverage directly through the Ethiopian Airlines mobile application, with protection valid during flight time. The agreement marks the second collaboration between the two companies, following their COVID-19 insurance partnership during the pandemic. Lemma Yadecha, chief Commercial Officer of Ethiopian Airlines, said Awash Insurance secured the deal through a competitive bidding process. He noted that the national carrier currently works with insurance providers in the UK and Europe for international health coverage, resulting in premium payments flowing abroad. He urged Awash Insurance to ensure the new arrangement helps retain premium revenues in the country.
