Questionnaire Selection Coverage List

AIRCRAFT OWNERSHIP

Aircraft hull insurance is the physical damage or property coverage on the aircraft itself, including the equipment and machinery contained within. This coverage can be purchased by either the owner or a charterer who is legally responsible for the aircraft.

Aircraft liability protects the owner or charterer of the aircraft against damages they will be required to pay due injury to persons, cargo, or other property. There is an option to either include or exclude injury to passengers. The expense is high as is the exposure, so careful consideration must be given and the exposure evaluated.
