What are the benefits
of having aviation insurance
Reputation
Aviation insurance can help protect your reputation in the event of an accident. If your aircraft is involved in an accident and you are not insured, you could be held personally liable for the damages. This could damage your reputation and make it difficult to get insurance in the future.
Compliance
In many cases, aviation insurance is required by law. For example, most countries require commercial airlines to have insurance. Having insurance can help you comply with these regulations and avoid penalties.
Peace of Mind
Knowing that your aircraft is insured can give you peace of mind. This is especially important if you use your aircraft for business or personal transportation. In the event of an accident, you will be able to focus on getting your life back to normal, knowing that your financial losses are covered.
Financial protection
Aviation insurance can protect you from financial losses in the event of an accident. This includes damage to the aircraft, cargo, and passengers. It can also cover legal fees and other expenses.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of aviation insurance do we place?
For how much must I insure my aircraft / Helicopter?
Make sure to chat to your AMO or get an industry aircraft valuation on the value of your aircraft or helicopter. The rate of exchange fluctuations can change the value of your machine. Alternately, insure in dollars!
