Air Canada’s decision to distribute CAP throughout their ecosystem demonstrates social responsibility and a strong commitment to duty of care.
PLANTATION, FL – Global risk consultancy FocusPoint International announced it has signed an agreement with Air Canada to offer Crisis Assistance Plus (CAP) duty of care solutions to the airline's customers.
With this agreement, Air Canada becomes the first major Canadian airline to offer the CAP duty of care solutions, inclusive of expert advice and fully-funded assistance, for business travellers who purchase airfare through Air Canada preferred partner agencies.
"Air Canada's decision to distribute CAP throughout their ecosystem demonstrates social responsibility and a strong commitment to duty of care," said Greg Pearson, CEO of FocusPoint International. "We're delighted to partner with Air Canada to enhance the travel experience of business travellers, wherever their journey takes them."
"As a global airline with strong focus on business travelers, it is our goal to provide services that cater to their every need. Duty of care has become front and centre with corporate travel managers for companies of all sizes as best practice for corporate social responsibility, and we are a step ahead of other airlines in providing our agency partners, through FocusPoint, a solution to meet this industry requirement," said Virgilio Russi, Senior Director Sales, Canada at Air Canada.
CAP is an affordable, common sense travel enhancement for business travelers. Key benefits provided include:
- Pre-trip travel tools and geographic risk information
- Point in time, destination-based travel alerts
- 24/7, 365-day access to security, crisis, and medical professionals to seek advice and assistance
- Immediate medical attention up to and including evacuation to a home hospital of choice
- A full suite of crisis response solutions for a wide range of contingencies
CAP is not an insurance program or an access plan. CAP is a fully funded membership program that guarantees assistance for a wide range of health, safety and security-related risks during a period of travel.
