Aircraft Operators

Commercial aircraft operation — owing to increased passenger and cargo volumes, regular flight operations, multi-pilot usage and commercial contracts — calls for a more comprehensive risk-management approach than private ownership.

Risks You May Face

Accumulated exposure arising from high operating hours in regular commercial service
Multiple pilots sharing the same aircraft or fleet
Additional liability obligations arising from commercial agreements (charter, management, fractional ownership)
The risk that coverage does not keep pace with fleet expansions or reductions
High service-standard expectations from passengers and corporate clients

Insurance Needs to Consider

Assessment of hull and liability coverage appropriate for commercial use
Planning passenger liability cover in line with seating capacity
Investigating the availability of fleet-level assessments where multiple aircraft are operated
Reflecting liability distinctions arising from fractional-ownership or fleet-management agreements in the policy

Points Worth Noting

It is important to notify any change of use before commercial operations begin
Where multiple pilots are involved, it is advisable to keep the pilot list up to date
Liability clauses in client contracts should be compared with the policy
Policy details should be updated whenever the fleet-management company changes

Pre-Application Checklist

Prepare commercial operating permits and licences
Compile pilot list and experience details
Estimate annual flight hours and passenger or cargo volumes
Review fleet-management or fractional-ownership agreements
