Aviation & Aerospace

Specialist cover for every corner of aviation.

Aerospace runs on precision, and so does aviation and aerospace insurance. Whether you manufacture aircraft and components, operate or finance a fleet, run an airport or maintenance facility, fly privately or commercially, or put hardware into space, you need an aviation insurance broker who knows your segment inside out.

Specialist aviation and aerospace insurance

Our specialists have dedicated their careers to this sector, a field that demands as much technical rigour as it does market knowledge. With over three decades placing aviation insurance across manufacturing, operations, ground services and space, we’ve developed the kind of expertise that only comes from time. We pair that depth with the instinct to ask the right questions before we place a single risk.

Cover for every corner of aviation and aerospace

From the production line to the launch pad, the cockpit to the control tower, the hangar floor to the boardroom and the balance sheet, every corner of aviation and aerospace operates by its own rules. The coverages and needs are as broad as the aviation industry. We've spent decades learning each of them. That means we come to every conversation already versed in your operational reality, with the right market relationships and the ability to find solutions that hold.

Your individual coverage

Your operation determines your cover. A general aviation pilot's exposures are nothing like an airline's. A manufacturer faces products and grounding liability an operator never sees; an airport carries premises and ground-handling risk; an MRO needs hangarkeepers cover; a satellite operator sits in a different market again; and an aircraft leasing company in another world entirely. We structure aviation and aerospace insurance around your specific reality — aircraft hull and liability, aviation products and grounding liability, aerospace manufacturers' liability, airport and premises liability, hangarkeepers, personal accident and loss of licence, residual value, war and terrorism, and space and satellite risk.

Aviation claims handling and advocacy

A claim in this industry lands on operations, reputation and cash flow at the same time, whether it’s a hull loss, a products claim against a manufacturer, a liability event on the ground, or a satellite that fails to reach orbit. Our claims team runs the full cycle, from loss preparation and cover analysis through to negotiation and advocacy. One goal drives all of it: getting you back to what you do best, as swiftly as possible.
