Aviation insurance & risk

Hangar and aviation facility property insurance

A hangar property review begins with the building, occupancy, equipment and loss valuation. Aircraft stored inside require a separate analysis of ownership and coverage interests.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE

An operational scenario

A severe storm damages a hangar roof, tools and tenant property. Visiting aircraft and the tenant’s interruption of business create additional claims that do not necessarily belong under the building owner’s policy.

Illustrative example only; this is not a Montridge client or reported claim.

The insurance distinction

Commercial property, aircraft hull and hangarkeepers address different property or liability interests. Business income, tenant improvements, flood, earthquake and ordinance-related costs depend on actual policy selections and terms.

What to examine

Review replacement values, construction, protection, occupancy, catastrophe exposures, tools, stock and business income worksheets. Compare lease responsibilities and identify which party insures improvements and equipment.

Evidence to gather

  • Building and equipment values
  • Construction and protection details
  • Leases and occupancy schedule
  • Property form and business income worksheet

Questions for your review

  • Who insures tenant improvements and equipment?
  • Are aircraft excluded from the property definition?
  • How are catastrophe deductibles and restoration periods handled?
