Notes

• Insurance area values are company-defined. They can differ by brand.

• Extended Europe usually means “Europe + extra covered countries”. The exact list depends on your insurance setup.

• World typically means destinations outside your European insurance areas.

What is "Extended Europe"?

It typically includes:

• All EU and EEA countries

• Non-EU European countries like:

  • Switzerland

  • Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein (members of EEA, but not EU)

  • Often UK (post-Brexit, sometimes treated separately)

  • Western Balkan countries (e.g., Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina)

  • Turkey and some parts of Eastern Europe (e.g., Ukraine, Moldova, depending on the insurer)

  • Sometimes Caucasus countries like Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan

So "Extended Europe" is a marketing or practical term used by insurers to indicate you're covered in more countries than just the EU.

When would "Extended Europe" be relevant?

• If you're traveling or driving beyond Scandinavia into non-EU Eastern Europe or Turkey

• If you want broader coverage that includes less typical destinations within Europe.

1. "World" signifies destinations outside of the European insurance coverage.

2. Some locations are categorized differently based on insurance policies.

This interface is designed to streamline airport gateway management efficiently and intuitively.

FAQ

What’s the difference between “Plaintext” and “Plaintext (Not Flight)”?

Use Plaintext as the standard display name. Use Plaintext (Not Flight) when the system needs a name outside flight contexts.

What is the “Insurance area” used for?

It groups gateways for insurance-related logic and reporting. The available values come from your configuration.

Can I reuse the same IATA code for multiple gateways?

Arrival gateways are typically unique per IATA code. If you need multiple names, prefer adjusting the display fields instead.

What happens if I delete an arrival gateway?

The gateway is removed from the list. Anything referencing it may fail or need remapping. If you are unsure, validate dependencies first.

Do you support placeholder IATA codes (for example, ZZZ)?

Some setups use placeholder codes for non-standard airports or manual handling. If you use placeholders, keep the naming consistent across arrival and departure gateways.
