Specialty insurance

Aviation & airside businesses

Insurance for the aircraft, operations and responsibilities around the airfield.

Who we can help

A closer look at your exposure.

Aircraft owners and operators, aviation service providers, hangar operators and airside businesses.

Ownership, passenger carriage, training, maintenance and airside service work create different exposures. Aircraft use, pilot experience, contracts and operating territory shape the review.

What to discuss with your broker

Aircraft hull & liability

Discuss aircraft values, intended use, passengers and pilot qualifications.

Hangarkeepers & premises

Review aircraft in your care, hangars, premises and associated contractual responsibilities.

Products & aviation services

Consider maintenance, components, professional services and completed-work exposures.

Airside operations

Review vehicle movement, airport agreements, equipment and required limits.

These are areas to consider, not a promise of coverage. Options, exclusions, limits and availability depend on the insurer and your circumstances.

Have a useful first conversation.

If available, have the following information ready. Your broker will tell you what is needed for a formal submission.

  • Aircraft details, values, use and operating territories
  • Pilot qualifications, experience and loss history
  • Airport, hangar, lease and service agreements
  • Description of all aviation and airside activities

A question worth asking

Does ordinary business liability cover work around aircraft?

Aviation-related exclusions and contract requirements can make specialist coverage necessary. Explain the exact work and where it takes place before relying on a general business policy.
