PHOENIX — Safe and hassle-free travel just got more convenient.
OZZI, the award-winning AI-driven safety platform, today announced a partnership with Blue Ribbon Bags (BRB), the global leader in delayed and lost luggage protection. BRB will be the first travel service integrated into OZZI’s new marketplace, a mobile platform designed to make safety and convenience more accessible to travelers worldwide.
Each year, more than 21 million bags are mishandled globally—a major source of stress and disruption for travelers. Blue Ribbon Bags covers every flight on every airline in the world, ensuring travels are compensated if their checked luggage is not returned within 96 hours while also sending real-time push notifications on the status of the bag via OZZI, SMS, WhatsApp, and email.
“Safety doesn’t stop at emergencies—it’s also about eliminating the hassles that disrupt travel and cause stress,” said Isaiah Lopez, CEO of OZZI. “By launching our marketplace with Blue Ribbon Bags, we’re building a platform where travelers can easily tap into services that keep them safer, more confident, and more supported from start to finish.”
Blue Ribbon Bags has transformed the way travelers handle lost luggage, delivering assurance and rapid assistance when airlines fall short. As OZZI’s first marketplace partner, BRB sets the stage for a growing ecosystem of services—from safety tools to travel conveniences—that are all accessible within the OZZI mobile app.
“We are proud to be the first partner in OZZI’s innovative marketplace,” said Robert Ardino, Senior Vice President at Blue Ribbon Bags. “This collaboration expands the value we can deliver to travelers by putting our service alongside OZZI’s proactive safety features. Together, we’re making the travel experience both safer and more convenient.”
The integration will begin rolling out in January 2025, with availability to OZZI app users on iOS and Android.
