The non-air ancillary market is a major source of income for airlines, comprising on average 17% of an airline\u2019s total revenue. Within this market, travel insurance is the best-performing non-air ancillary product according to Statista, whose research showed that it is offered by 89% of airlines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason behind this is clear.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel insurance provides travellers with peace of mind, regardless of where they are going or why. This makes it a valuable product that can be offered to a wide range of customers. It is also a product that can be easily purchased as part of a bundled package, which enhances the customer experience all while increasing the conversion rate. This business model is a win-win situation for all involved: the airline, the insurance company and the customer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same way, purchasing and using an eSIM offers peace of mind, as it eliminates the need for a physical SIM card and allows the traveller to access reliable roaming data from trusted providers without hassle. As with travel insurance, the process is quick and easy, with immediate access to the service once purchased. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being insured and being connected are both fundamental <\/strong>aspects of travelling. This is for different reasons, of course – one product can be used liberally, while the other, we would hope never has to be used at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The delivery process for insurance and eSIM plans is more seamless than almost every other travel ancillary on the market. The seamlessness of the eSIM technology means it has the potential to become the next major revenue source for airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what motivates a person to buy travel insurance, and can the same motivation be applied to eSIM plans?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ancileo<\/a>\u2019s 2022 Travel Insurance Outlook shows that in 9 out of 12 countries participating in the survey, people value price as the key factor when considering whether to purchase travel insurance. The other motivating factors are set out in the graph below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

eSIM ancillary providers, such as Simtex, tick all these boxes when it comes to data roaming plans:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
