Flybe is providing free cover for passengers who are forced to cancel travel plans if they become unemployed.
People booking flights car hire and hotels this month for travel before October 24 receive the insurance cover at no cost.
The airline said it was responding to “the economic pressures currently faced by everyone in the country and in recognition of job insecurity which is a crucial issue for families and their travel plans in 2009.”
The policy has been designed specifically to reassure travellers that they will not be left out of pocket in the event of redundancy provided they have over two years continuous employment with the same employer.
It allows those who have booked with Flybe to receive a full refund on travel costs associated with their trip.
Chief commercial officer Mike Rutter said: “These are unprecedented times and Flybe wants to do our bit to keep the economy moving.
“That’s why we’re introducing our completely free redundancy cancellation cover so that consumers can book with us in January secure in the knowledge that if they lose their job before they travel, Flybe will give them a full refund.
“Flybe will fund in full the insurance costs through our Insurance partner AIG UK Limited and the peace-of-mind guarantee means that if one member of a party on the same booking is made redundant, any or all of the remaining members of that party can receive a refund if they want one.”
