Aviation insurance & risk

Weather, hail and hangar accumulation

Review aircraft and building exposures together when severe weather threatens. Hangar storage can reduce some hazards while concentrating values exposed to a common event.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE

An operational scenario

Aircraft are moved inside ahead of a storm. Roof damage affects the building, customer aircraft and the tenant’s ability to operate, creating several separate coverage questions.

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

The insurance distinction

Hull, hangarkeepers, commercial property and business income address different interests. Flood, wind, hail and other catastrophe terms may carry separate deductibles, restrictions or exclusions in each policy.

What to examine

Evaluate values by location, building condition, severe-weather procedures, temporary storage and evacuation plans. Review interruption assumptions and access to alternative facilities with operational staff and the insurer.

Evidence to gather

  • Peak aircraft accumulation schedule
  • Building and catastrophe information
  • Weather and relocation procedures
  • Hull, property and liability forms

Questions for your review

  • Which events could affect all aircraft at once?
  • Are temporary locations contemplated?
  • Do deductible and business income assumptions match the plan?
