A partnership between Amadeus and insurance company AXA Partners will enable companies and business travellers using the cytric Travel & Expense online booking platform in Europe to get pay-as-you-go travel insurance, on-trip risk management and medical assistance.
??
Corporations will pay AXA Partners for the insurance and medical assistance services only when their employee actually travels rather than having to pay a traditional annual fee.
