Hey fellow travelers and credit card enthusiasts of The Finanjo Community!
I recently came across some news that might affect those of you who are SBI KrisFlyer Credit Card holders. It looks like the Air Accident Cover has been removed from these cards. I was pretty shocked when I heard this, so I did some digging to find out more.

The Air Accident Cover was a crucial benefit provided by SBI KrisFlyer Credit Cards famous for. It offered financial protection to cardholders and their families in the unfortunate event of an air accident. This cover was a significant safety net for frequent flyers, providing peace of mind and financial security.
But after the unfortunate Ahmedababd Flight accident, SBI has withdrawn air insurance coverage from many cards, like ELITE and PRIMES and now on KrisFlyer which is said to be the best card in the market catering to this domain.

Yes, SBI has removed the complimentary air accident cover from the KrisFlyer card, and it’s no longer listed in the benefits on their site. This isn’t limited to just KrisFlyer, they’ve been quietly phasing out air accident insurance across multiple premium cards like ELITE and PRIME as well. So if you’re relying on the card for that protection, it’s worth checking your other cards or taking a standalone travel insurance policy instead, since that usually gives you much better coverage anyway.
