What is scheduled airline failure cover (SAF)?
SAF is for the protection of the fare paying public travelling on a scheduled flight, purchased in the U.K. and travelling anywhere in the world.
The cover provided facilitates a refund of the ticket cost should an airline be unable to fulfill its obligation to its passengers due to financial failure, prior to them travelling or provides for the cost of a return ticket in the event that the insured passenger is outside the U.K. at the time of the financial failure occurring.
