When it comes to the aviation insurance industry, there are two main distribution channels for policies: direct-to-customer retail brokers and wholesale brokers. Wholesale aviation insurance plays a critical but often misunderstood role in how aircraft owners, operators, and aviation businesses get coverage. In this guide, we’ll explain what wholesale aviation insurance is, how it differs […]
Owning an aircraft is a dream for many and a serious financial commitment for all. So when it comes to protecting that investment, aircraft insurance is non-negotiable. But here’s the reality most owners don’t think about: You might be overpaying for your aircraft insurance. Not by a few bucks. In some cases, by hundreds or […]
At first glance, insurance might seem like insurance. You protect an asset, pay your premium, and hope you never need it. So when new aircraft owners ask questions like: “Can we just remove the business use to lower the premium?” “Why is this quote taking longer than my auto policy?” “Why does it cost more […]
Whether you’re upgrading to a faster aircraft, selling your current plane, or buying your first, there’s a critical detail many owners forget: Insurance doesn’t transfer with ownership. It’s a simple but costly assumption. One that can leave both buyers and sellers exposed, and one we see every single month. In this post, we’ll break down […]
Aircraft insurance renewals often arrive in your inbox like clockwork. You see the familiar quote, check the price, and—if it’s not wildly different—you click, pay, and move on. But here’s the reality: That quick click could be costing you hundreds—or even thousands—of dollars. Why? Because aircraft insurance policies are complex. And if you’re not reviewing […]
If you’re like most aircraft owners, you’ve probably asked yourself: “How can I get a better rate on my insurance without cutting coverage?” The answer may be simpler than you think: fly more, and train smarter.

When you call an aircraft insurance broker, you probably expect honesty. Straight answers. Guidance you can trust. But there’s one thing most brokers won’t tell you: They don’t work for you. They work for your renewal. That’s not how it should be. The Truth About Aviation Insurance Incentives Most brokers in aviation insurance earn their […]
Letting an aircraft insurance policy lapse. Whether it’s due to forgetfulness, a planned gap in flying, or an assumption that “a few days won’t matter,” the result is the same: A lapsed policy can cost you thousands of dollars in increased premiums—and even worse, it can leave you completely exposed. In this article, we’re going […]
When most aircraft owners think about insurance, their minds go straight to hull value. “What’s my plane worth?” “What’s the deductible?” “How much will it cost to fix if I scrape a wing?” Important questions? Absolutely. But not the most important. Because in aviation, the biggest financial risk isn’t usually your aircraft. It’s the liability […]
