HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE
An operational scenario
A hangar contains several visiting aircraft when a towing incident damages one aircraft and a neighboring jet. A limit sufficient for a single customer may be inadequate for the combined loss.
Illustrative example only; this is not a Montridge client or reported claim.
The insurance distinction
Liability for a customer aircraft is different from property insurance on the hangar building or hull insurance held by the aircraft owner. Storage contracts, waivers and any available coverage extensions must be read in context.
What to examine
Identify covered locations and activities, maximum values per aircraft and per event, movement outside the hangar, and subcontracted handling. Consider how legal liability, deductibles, loss of use and contractual assumptions are addressed.
Evidence to gather
- Storage and service agreements
- Peak aircraft values by location
- Movement and towing procedures
- Complete hangarkeepers wording and limits
Questions for your review
- Are values tracked during seasonal peaks?
- Does the form contemplate towing and offsite activity?
- How is a multi-aircraft event limited?
