Aborted take-off: insurance claim unlikely for Jet passengers

Mumbai: For the 142 passengers who had to slide down the emergency chutes of a Jet Airways aircraft, after it skidded off the runway following an aborted take-off in Riyadh on Friday, the hope of making claims against their travel insurance appears bleak.

Bandra resident Navneet Bagga, a consultant with Delloitte, finally returned to Mumbai on Saturday morning a 24-hour delay, during which he had to brave it out in the airport, waiting for baggage to be retrieved and then share a hotel room with two others, to find out that his travel insurance claim had been turned down.

“A reply to my email on claiming my travel insurance from Bajaj Allianz revealed that such an incident is not covered,” Mr. Bagga, who injured his hand during the evacuation, said.
