Aircraft Insurance

Description and purpose

These policies are similar to comprehensive car insurance but are tailored to the specifics and complexities of the aviation industry.

Coverage and risks
Covers a wide range of risks, including:

  • Accidents and damage – protects the aircraft against damage caused by collisions, technical defects, and flight incidents.
  • Natural factors – damage caused by natural events such as storms, hail, lightning, birds, and other aerial hazards.
  • Acts of vandalism, theft, and sabotage – coverage against damages caused by acts of sabotage, vandalism, or theft.
Types and options
- Commercial aircraft insurance: protects aircraft used for passenger and cargo transportation.
- Private aircraft insurance: protects aircraft owned by individuals or companies for personal or corporate use.
Benefits
Financial protection against aviation-specific risks, coverage for high repair costs, and mitigation of the financial impact of incidents.
