Automatic Insurance on international air tickets?

Question

Do all airline tickets insure travelers automatically?

Answer 1

Airline corporations have insurance, but it covers the company against loss - not individual passengers.

It isn't insurance, but airlines are responsible for lost or damaged baggage up to a certain value.

Otherwise, no.

Trip insurance of various types is available from travel agents.
