Aircraft hull and liability insurance is specialist aviation cover for aircraft owners and operators. Hull cover is designed to address physical loss or damage to the insured aircraft, while liability cover addresses legal liability to passengers and third parties arising from the operation of the aircraft. Cover must reflect the aircraft type, pilot experience, use and operating area.
Cover may respond to physical loss or damage to the aircraft from an insured accident or event, subject to the agreed value and policy terms.
Protects against covered legal liability for accidental bodily injury or property damage caused by aircraft operations.
Liability cover can address claims by passengers for injury or death arising from an accident, subject to policy limits and conditions.
The policy can be structured around the risks selected, including flight, taxiing, hangar, parking and ground operations.
Underwriting considers aircraft type, ownership, pilot qualifications, approved uses, hours flown and operating territory.
Depending on the risk, options may include loss of use, hangar keepers, war risks, spare parts, equipment and additional aviation liability.
