Blink strikes partnership with Canadian travel insurer TuGo

Ireland-based travel insurtech Blink has entered into a partnership with TuGo, one of Canada’s top travel insurance providers. The deal will see TuGo launch the MyFlyt service, powered by Blink’s real-time flight delay monitoring technology. TuGo’s travel insurance customers registered with MyFlyt can enjoy benefits such as airport lounge access if a flight is delayed by two hours or more, or a cash payout per traveller, which is immediately deposited into their bank account. Blink offers a data-driven travel disruption solution. Once a traveller registers their flight details, Blink can monitor that flight in real time. If a flight delay occurs, the user will be notified automatically of the delay.
