Poland's LOT partners Mondial Assistance

LOT, the largest airline company in Poland attracting 3.7 million travellers in 2006, has chosen Mondial Assistance to distribute travel insurance on its website.

The partnership will enable travellers to subscribe to travel insurance contracts online on www.lot.com. It also allows them to subscribe to medical assistance while abroad at the time they purchase their airline tickets.

In the context of its strong growth LOT chose Mondial Assistance to propose a range of assistance and travel insurance solutions to its customers travelling within Poland and toward 13 other European destinations (Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Norway, the UK, the Netherlands and Sweden), in which will be gradually introduced between now and early next year.

On new partnership with Mondial, Radoslaw Dutkowski, E-Commerce Manager, LOT said, "Their savoir-faire and skills in e-Commerce allowed us to integrate their travel insurance solutions directly within our website in multiple languages without disturbing our sales process or the smooth running of our website."

LOT benefits from the eMagin platform developed by Mondial Assistance and used today by tour operators, airline companies and online travel agents in more than 30 countries in Europe and worldwide. EMagin makes it possible for each travel partner to offer insurance policies that have been specifically tailored as per the needs of their business or leisure travel clients.   

The eMagin platform handles several thousand travel insurance contract sales every day.
