MAS offers MHinsure insurance t air travellers

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines (MAS) is making it easier for air travellers to buy travel insurance online by opening up MHinsure to Malaysians, Singaporeans and Australians.

"With the opening of MHinsure to travellers in Malaysia, Singapore and Australia, we are confident we will see more than 70 per cent growth in premium sales by end of next year," said Muzzaffar Othman, MAS Senior General Manager in the Managing Director's Office.

He said the national carrier's plan is to expand MHinsure to other markets in the near future.

Since the launch of MHinsure in Malaysia last year, about 25 per cent of Malaysia Airlines' passengers have bought the travel insurance online.

Now travellers, whether flying with Malaysia Airlines or other airlines, can buy MHinsure at
