The BWI Difference in 2025
The aviation insurance market in 2025 is stable but cautious. Carriers are selective, and pricing reflects inflation in aircraft parts and labor. BWI’s relationships with underwriters allow us to negotiate competitive rates even in challenging conditions.
Client Success Story
One Alaska-based pilot came to BWI after struggling with high premiums from another broker. By restructuring his policy, adding specific training credits, and placing him with a carrier that understood bush flying risks, we saved him over 20% annually, without reducing coverage.
