Aerospace Insurance

Specialized coverage for aviation and space operations, from aircraft hull and liability through manufacturing, ground handling, and emerging drone exposures.

Your risk profile isn't standard. Neither is our approach.

Aerospace insurance is a specialized form of coverage designed to address the unique risks associated with the aviation and space industries. This type of insurance is crucial for protecting various stakeholders, including airlines, manufacturers, airports, and even individual aircraft owners, from potential financial losses due to accidents, liability claims, and other unforeseen events.

What is Aerospace Insurance?

Aerospace insurance encompasses a broad range of policies tailored to meet the specific needs of the aviation sector. It includes coverage for physical damage to aircraft, liability for third-party injuries or property damage, and protection against losses due to war or terrorism. Additionally, it covers risks associated with the manufacturing and maintenance of aircraft, as well as operations at airports and other aviation facilities.

What We Cover

Coverage Designed for Aerospace

Hull Insurance

Covers physical damage to the aircraft itself, the single largest asset on most aerospace balance sheets and the one most exposed to sudden loss.

Liability Insurance

Protects against claims from third parties for bodily injury or property damage arising out of your aviation operations.

Passenger Liability

Provides coverage for injuries to passengers, a distinct exposure that general aviation liability limits do not always address adequately.

Product Liability

Applies to manufacturers, covering claims arising from defects in aircraft parts or systems after they have left your control.

War & Terrorism Coverage

Addresses losses arising from war or terrorism, exposures that are routinely excluded from standard aviation policies and must be arranged deliberately.

Drone & Emerging Operations

Covers unmanned aircraft and newer forms of air travel as insurers extend their offerings to keep pace with how the sector is developing.

How Aerospace Coverage Is Structured

Obtaining aerospace insurance begins with a detailed risk assessment conducted by the insurer. That assessment considers the type and age of the aircraft, its intended use, the experience of the pilots and crew, and the operational environment the aircraft works in. The policy that follows is built around those specifics rather than assembled from a template.

Premiums are set against the same picture, with higher-risk operations carrying higher costs, and insurers also weigh historical claims data across the sector when setting rates. Because the underwriting turns on operational detail, how your operation is presented to the market materially affects the terms you are offered.

The sector keeps moving. Aerospace insurance is increasingly relevant in emerging areas such as drone operations and space exploration, and insurers are adapting their offerings as new forms of air travel develop. Coverage that fit an operation three years ago may no longer reflect what it does today.
