- With Refund Protect, all Sunrise Airways’ passengers will now have the option to make their tickets fully refundable, a feature previously unavailable.
- Protect Group’s Refund Protect is the world’s leading end-to-end refundable ticket service, designed to give travellers confidence and to enhance satisfaction by offering full refunds in the event of unforeseen circumstances beyond the customer’s control.
Leeds, UK – 3rd December, 2025 – Protect Group, a leader in ancillary travel products, has today announced a strategic agreement with Sunrise Airways. This partnership now offers the airline’s passengers a simple and reliable way to secure refunds should they not be able to travel.
Going forward, Sunrise Airways customers can book their flights with greater peace of mind, knowing they are protected against any unforeseen events thanks to Protect Group’s flagship service, Refund Protect. This will allow all travellers to make their tickets fully refundable for the first time if they are unable to travel. An upgrade that was previously unavailable.
Nick Ashton, Global Airline Lead at Protect Group, commented: "We are thrilled to partner with Sunrise Airways to give travellers an extra layer of confidence and flexibility. Refund Protect is designed to simplify the booking experience, giving passengers the reassurance they need while helping airlines deliver greater value. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to customer-centric innovation.”
This new service is seamlessly integrated into Sunrise Airways’ booking system thanks to Hepstar, which connects Refund Protect to the airline’s reservation system. This ensures a smooth booking experience for passengers. The option is already available on the airline’s website and will soon be on the Sunrise mobile app.
“Travel plans can change without warning, and we believe our passengers deserve a safety net that puts their needs first,” said Gary Stone, CEO. “Refund Protect offers peace of mind at a low cost, ensuring that our customers feel supported even when the unexpected happens.”
