13 guides

Aircraft hull insurance →

Hull review concerns physical damage to the insured aircraft. Start with the valuation basis, aircraft schedule, approved uses and loss settlement provisions.

Aircraft liability insurance →

Aircraft liability review starts with who is insured, the insured aircraft and accepted operations. Limits must be read alongside passenger provisions, exclusions and defense wording.

Hangarkeepers liability insurance →

Hangarkeepers addresses a business’s liability involving customer aircraft in its care, custody or control, subject to the form. It should be reviewed against aircraft movements and peak accumulation.

Airport premises liability →

Airport premises review considers the activities and conditions controlled by the insured. Tenant operations, public areas and airside activities should be mapped separately.

Non-owned aircraft liability insurance →

Identify the insured business or person, the aircraft use and who operates the flight. Non-owned liability does not automatically insure damage to the borrowed or rented aircraft.

Aviation professional liability →

Professional liability review focuses on the service and alleged error. Define the actual advisory, arranging, management or technical work before deciding how a policy might apply.

Workers compensation for aviation businesses →

Describe aviation employment by the work actually performed and the jurisdictions involved. Ground staff, mechanics, crew and administrative employees may present different classification and coverage questions.

Cyber risk for aviation businesses →

Review the technology dependencies that interrupt bookings, dispatch, maintenance administration or payment. An aviation liability policy should not be assumed to insure a cyber event.

Aviation pollution exposures →

Fuel storage, dispensing, maintenance chemicals and waste handling deserve a separate pollution review. Neither premises liability nor products liability should be presumed to cover all cleanup costs.

Aviation war and political risk review →

International operations can raise exclusions and territorial restrictions beyond ordinary hull and liability review. Describe routes, destinations and ownership interests before evaluating potential placement.
