What is Aviation Insurance?
While the aviation industry has stringent safety standards, flying carries some serious risks - both on land and in the air. So whether you’re a private pilot or you fly as part of an airline, it’s important to protect your business with aviation insurance.
With the right aviation insurance, your business can be covered for risks such as aircraft damage, third party, passenger injury or third party property damage claims.
Who should consider it?
Aviation insurance can cover all aircraft, including airlines and private planes, pilots, refuellers, operators of hangars and baggage handlers.
Whether you fly for a living or for pleasure, you should consider the protection offered by aviation insurance.
