A controversial airline has announced it will pay customers up to £7,000 if they catch coronavirus while flying with them. Vietnamese carrier Vietjet has introduced its new “Sky Covid Care” insurance scheme as a way of protecting customers during the current global pandemic. Under the policy, if a passenger contracts COVID-19 while traveling on a Vietjet flight, they will be eligible for a payout of up to 200 million Vietnamese dong (£7,085). The payout is applicable for all domestic flights in Vietnam between now and June 30, and applies to all eligible customers free of charge and regardless of their nationality. Any passengers who have already tested positive to the virus and those who fail to follow recommended safety regulations, such as self-isolation or travel bans, will not be eligible for the payout. Passengers with epilepsy or mental illness are also not eligible for the scheme.
