Aviation insurance & risk

Reviewing hangarkeepers limits

Evaluate maximum values per aircraft and the combined value that could be damaged in one event. Average occupancy can understate a peak accumulation.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE

An operational scenario

A storm forces several high-value visiting aircraft into the same hangar. A fire or structural event could affect the full accumulation, even if normal daily occupancy is much lower.

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

The insurance distinction

An aggregate, occurrence limit and per-aircraft limit are different controls. The applicable form determines which restrictions interact, and a building limit does not establish aircraft liability capacity.

What to examine

Build location-specific peak scenarios using actual customer aircraft values, seasonal patterns and handling movements. Compare the result with the selected limits, deductibles and insured activities. Any selected limit is a risk decision rather than a guarantee of sufficiency.

Evidence to gather

  • Peak occupancy and aircraft values
  • Location and hangar diagrams
  • Customer storage agreements
  • Limit schedule, deductibles and full wording

Questions for your review

  • What is the largest aircraft value exposed?
  • What common event could damage several aircraft?
  • Are overflow locations and movements included?
