Specialist aviation cover

Aircraft insurance should not be a generic product.

Every aircraft insurance quote depends on far more than the hull value. aviation underwriters review the make and model, how the aircraft is used, where it is based, the pilots' certificates and ratings, recent flight experience and claims history, and whether the aircraft is flown privately, commercially, by a club or by several pilots.

Our job is to turn those details into a clean submission that the major aviation markets can price properly — and to arrange the strongest possible cover for your individual risk.

Aircraft we insure

Cover for every kind of aircraft.

From a Cessna 172 to a turbine helicopter or a light jet, each aircraft carries its own risk profile and is rated on its own terms. We arrange insurance for private and commercial operators across all of them.

A fair rating system

We assess the real risk — and price it fairly.

Many owners never learn how an aviation premium is actually set. US underwriters weigh three things above all: the aircraft, the pilot, and how the two come together in real operations. A well-maintained aircraft, flown by an experienced and well-trained pilot, earns a better rate.

Professional crew, type ratings, recurrent simulator training and a clean claims history all influence the terms. We make sure those are reflected in your quote.

A

Your aircraft

Make, model, hull value, equipment and use all feed the assessment.

P

You as a pilot

Certificates, ratings, total time, time in type and recent experience count.

F

The operation

How and where you fly, and your training and claims history, shape the rate.

Bermuda · BCAA registry

Leased commercial aircraft on the register carry insurance aligned with the lease and the operating airline's requirements.

FAQ

Aircraft insurance questions

Is insurance required for a Bermuda registered aircraft?

Yes. Aircraft on the Bermuda register carry insurance appropriate to their value and use, structured around owners, lessors and operators. Business jets carry worldwide liability and agreed-value hull cover; leased commercial aircraft carry insurance aligned with the lease and the operating airline's requirements.

How does insurance work for a financed or leased aircraft?

Where a business aircraft is financed or leased, the financier or lessor is named on the policy and will require agreed-value hull cover and protection that responds even if a policy condition is breached. This is standard on high-value business aircraft. Tell us about any finance or lease when you request a quote.

What is the difference between hull and liability insurance?

Hull insurance covers physical damage to your own aircraft, in motion and not in motion. Liability insurance covers injury or property damage you cause to third parties and, where included, to passengers. Most US policies combine both.

What does Combined Single Limit (CSL) mean?

A Combined Single Limit policy provides one overall liability limit covering both passenger injury and third-party bodily injury or property damage, instead of a per-seat sublimit. A smooth CSL with no passenger sublimit is the broadest common structure in US general aviation.

How are aircraft insurance premiums calculated for Bermuda-registered aircraft?

Underwriters review the aircraft make, model and hull value; the pilot's certificates and ratings; total time, time in type and time in the last 12 months; training and claims history; intended use; and where the aircraft is based. Experienced, well-trained pilots in lower-risk aircraft receive better rates.

Can the policy cover owners, trustees and operators together?

Yes. Aircraft on offshore registries are often held through trust or corporate structures, with a separate professional operator. Cover can name the owner, any trustee, lessors and the operator as insured or interested parties, so everyone with an interest in the aircraft is protected. Tell us the ownership structure when you request a quote.

Can flying clubs and multiple pilots be insured under one policy?

Yes. Flying clubs, partnerships and co-ownership groups can be insured under one policy with named-pilot or open-pilot warranty provisions, with cover extended to each qualifying pilot.

Do flight instructors need their own liability cover?

Certificated flight instructors carry liability exposure when teaching in aircraft they do not own. CFI liability insurance protects the instructor during instruction, separate from the owner's or club's policy.

How does professional crew affect the premium?

Favourably. Business aircraft flown by professional, type-rated crew with recurrent simulator training generally attract better terms. Underwriters look closely at crew experience, type ratings and training currency, so providing full crew details when you request a quote helps secure the best terms.

Does the policy provide worldwide cover?

Yes. Business aircraft on offshore registries are typically insured on a worldwide basis, with liability limits to match global operations. Specific regions may carry particular terms, so confirm your operating area when you request a quote.
