Bryte Travel Insurance has retracted the statement that it issued yesterday, saying that it has reviewed its position and will continue to offer insolvency cover on SAA tickets.
Bryte, together with other South African travel insurance companies, announced this week that it would no longer provide supplier insolvency cover for SAA tickets, following reports that the airline could no longer afford to pay salaries. Bryte said, at the time, that insurance policies purchased after November 12 would no longer provide cover to SAA flights.
“We have reviewed our position and our policies will respond as normal. This means that we continue to offer insolvency cover on SAA tickets and that our standard policy terms and conditions will apply,” said Anrieth Symon, head of travel for Bryte Travel Insurance.
