The tie-up will see the Brisbane Airport website become a one-stop online destination for all of BAC customers' travel needs – from services such as checking flight schedules and pre-booking discounted parking, to AGA travel insurance to protect their journey.
“The BAC website caters to travellers transiting through Brisbane Airport, providing an easy one-stop-shop for all their pre-departure needs,” said Brad Smith, chief sales officer at AWP. “Our data shows that travel insurance is often purchased as an afterthought, so we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with BAC and add travel insurance to the platform, ensuring it’s on that pre-departure checklist. This is just the start of what we hope will be a long-term partnership to offer a range of insurance and assistance products tailored to suit Brisbane Airport Corporation’s customer base.”
AWP data showed that 39% of its clients buy travel insurance in the week before departure and 19% the day before or the day of departure.
“The convenience of purchasing Allianz Global Assistance travel insurance via the BNE website, alongside online services we already offer like parking, car hire, and currency exchange, gives travellers one less thing to think about,” said Floor Felten, general manager for strategic planning and development at Brisbane Airport Corporation.
To celebrate the new tie-up, AWP is giving away an Audi A1 to one BAC customer. To join the promo, those interested must complete the online registration form, and for an additional entry, share via their social media channel. Entrants who take up travel insurance policy through the BAC website between May 1 and July 1 will get an extra 20 bonus entries by using the promotion code “AUDI”.
