Underwritten by certain Underwriters at Lloyd\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha Gainullin, CEO of battleface said: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We are proud to be providing this pioneering product for space tourism. We regularly revisit our policies to ensure we are relevant to today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s marketplace, and while space tourism is still in its infancy, several hundred space flights have been sold to \u00e2\u20ac\u02dccivilians\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and demand is growing. This type of product fits with our values of providing people with the confidence to fulfil their dreams.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Lloyd\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s already has an innovative insurance solution for the emerging private spaceflight industry and a space consortium from where they have developed straightforward, scalable insurance for all aspects and phases of new technological advancements and projects in the space travel sector. According to a Lloyd\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s report, they anticipate that this dynamic industry is set to grow to be worth $1 trillion by 2040, driven by private companies entering the sector, which will generate a significant number of new jobs and capabilities in the emerging space tourism industry.<\/p>\n<p>Gainullin continues: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s landscape mirrors the early days of air travel back at the beginning of last century. With the advent of more affordable space travel, costs should come down as demand rises alongside the need for insurance. The first policy for aviation was written in 1911 and in 1927 the first transatlantic flight flown by Charles Lindbergh was insured. We are excited to be one of the first companies in 2021 to be providing insurance to space tourism pioneers who want to have the freedom to travel into space.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","press-release-category":[552],"press-release-tag":[564],"class_list":["post-26616","press-releases","type-press-releases","status-publish","hentry","press-release-category-press-release-usa","press-release-tag-2021-2"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rebrand2.bfstagesite.com\/en-us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-releases\/26616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rebrand2.bfstagesite.com\/en-us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-releases"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rebrand2.bfstagesite.com\/en-us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/press-releases"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rebrand2.bfstagesite.com\/en-us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"press-release-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rebrand2.bfstagesite.com\/en-us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-release-category?post=26616"},{"taxonomy":"press-release-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rebrand2.bfstagesite.com\/en-us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-release-tag?post=26616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
