HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE
An operational scenario
A company sends employees on an aircraft owned by another entity. After an incident, the company faces an allegation involving its decision to arrange the flight even though it does not own the aircraft.
Illustrative example only; this is not a Montridge client or reported claim.
The insurance distinction
Corporate non-owned exposure, pilot renter exposure and aircraft physical damage are different issues. Any physical damage extension, contractual liability or excess relationship must be established from actual wording.
What to examine
Review ownership definitions, charter and rental use, pilot activity, aircraft types, territory and contract assumptions. Compare the underlying operator’s policy without assuming it protects the arranging business in every capacity.
Evidence to gather
- Charter or rental agreements
- Description of non-owned aircraft use
- Corporate entity structure
- Non-owned and underlying policy wording
Questions for your review
