Aviation Products Liability
Products liability insurance is a requirement for any entity involved in the aviation supply or distribution chain – from subcomponent manufacturers to primary airframe and engine manufacturers and the associated companies that perform maintenance and repairs. The long-tail nature of these companies’ liability exposure demands high quality products and stable security.
We are proud to insure some of the most recognisable names in the industry and offer insurance coverage for the following activities:
- Primary airframe and engine manufacturers
- Sub-component manufacturers
- Maintenance and repair organisations (MROs)
- Suppliers of components and spare parts
Airports and Ground Service Providers
We cover all aspects of aviation related “ground risks”, from the airports themselves (including air traffic control) to the ancillary operations, including various turnaround services and concessionaires who also require liability cover.
We provide cover for the following activities:
- Airport owners and operators

- Catering Services
- Hangar keepers
- Refuellers
- Security companies
Banks, Lessors, Finance Houses
We provide coverage to banks, lessors and other financial institutions to protect their assets whilst on lease to or being operated by others (contingent coverage) or whilst ‘off-lease’ and in the care custody and control of the lessor (possessed coverage).
