OTA / Travel Platforms
These platforms sell flight tickets to travelers and often offer travel insurance products during the booking process.
Key Examples:
* Trip.com
* Kiwi.com
Insurance Companies
Insurance companies underwrite the insurance products and are responsible for paying compensation when insured events occur.
Key Example:
* Etiqa
Flight Data Provider
Flight data providers supply reliable real-time and historical flight data that can be used to monitor flight operations and verify disruption events.
Key Example:

InsurTech
InsurTech companies and claims platforms connect flight data, insurance rules, customer records, and payment systems to support more efficient claim review, traveler communication, and payout workflows.

Step 1. Purchase: Travelers buy travel insurance through an OTA, airline, travel app, or insurance platform.
Step 2. Data Integration: The insurer or platform connects DataWorks APIs to monitor insured flights.
Step 3. Monitoring: The system tracks flight status, delays, cancellations, diversions, and actual arrival times.
Step 4. Data Signal: Flight events are compared with the insurer’s predefined policy conditions.
Step 5. Review Support: DataWorks provides aviation evidence to support claim review and eligibility checks.
Step 6. Decision: Claim approval, customer communication, and payout remain within the insurer or claims platform.
Verify Flight Disruptions with Trusted Aviation Data
VariFlight DataWorks helps insurers and InsurTech platforms verify flight status events such as delays, cancellations, diversions, scheduled times, estimated times, and actual departure or arrival times. Our APIs provide independent aviation data to support claim eligibility review and evidence-based claims workflows, while passenger tickets, policies, identities, documents, and payment records remain within your own insurance or booking systems.
Aviation Data for Embedded Travel Insurance and Claim Review
VariFlight DataWorks helps insurers, InsurTech platforms, travel apps, and financial service apps use aviation data in travel insurance products and claim review workflows. Real-time flight status, delay alerts, cancellation signals, diversion information, and historical disruption data can support embedded insurance journeys, post-purchase flight monitoring, and evidence-based claim eligibility review.
When a traveler submits a flight disruption claim, DataWorks can help platforms verify flight number, route, scheduled and actual times, delay duration, cancellation status, diversion events, and arrival information. Policy rules, customer identity, documents, approval decisions, and payouts remain within the insurer or claims platform.

VariFlight DataWorks's Value in the Process
VariFlight DataWorks provides three key aviation data capabilities to support travel insurance and claims review workflows.
Real-Time Flight Disruption Monitoring
Monitor insured flights for delays, cancellations, diversions, estimated times, and actual departure or arrival times. This helps insurers and claims platforms track flight events that may be relevant to predefined policy conditions.
Flight Data for Claim Review Support
Use reliable aviation data to support claim eligibility review, including flight existence, delay duration, cancellation status, diversion events, scheduled times, and actual arrival information. Policy interpretation, approval decisions, and payouts remain within the insurer or claims platform.
Flight Event Signals for Customer Notifications
Use flight event signals in customer notification workflows when an insured flight is delayed, cancelled, diverted, or landed. DataWorks provides the aviation data signals, while traveler communication is managed through the insurer’s or platform’s own systems.
