Kidnap and ransom insurance
This type of insurance covers the ransom if, for example, an aircraft is hijacked and hostages are taken, although it also covers the costs of intermediaries, interpreters, psychiatrists and physicians who provide support after the incident.
Any company or person who is active in a high-risk region could be a policyholder. Supplementary cover such as accident insurance, repatriation and health insurance can also be taken out.
