CORK, Ireland – 27 January, 2026 – Aviva Insurance Ireland DAC (Aviva) today announced the launch of a new parametric flight delay benefit for businesses covered under its Group Business Travel Insurance. Powered by Blink Parametric, the award-winning global InsurTech specialising in real-time assistance solutions, this new feature delivers real-time support for travellers.

This enhancement automatically provides VIP airport lounge access to insured employees when their flight is delayed by two hours or more, ensuring they can relax, work, and stay connected in comfort while waiting.

Aviva Insurance Ireland DAC is leading the way as the first insurer in Ireland to bring parametric technology to its group business portfolio – a milestone that underscores its commitment to innovation and exceptional customer experience. The benefit is now available via Aviva’s broker distribution network and can be assessed directly through the Aviva Broker Portal.

Through seamless automation, Blink Parametric monitors flights in real-time and instantly issues a VIP lounge pass once a qualifying delay occurs, ensuring there are no claims forms, no waiting and no stress.

This partnership allows Aviva’s group business clients to transform disruption into care, offering their employees a valued, real-time benefit during travel.
