What Is Aircraft Charter Insurance?
Aircraft charter insurance policies are aviation insurance policies with coverage specific to part 135 and commercial charter operation. Commercial aviation insurance policies typically include liability coverage as standard to protect the policyholder from the legal liability of bodily injury or property damage incurred by the commercial operation of the aircraft insured. Policies may also include hull coverage which covers physical damage to the aircraft.
Aircraft Charter Insurance Policies Offer Coverages Such As:
- Liability Coverage:
- This coverage offers 3rd party protection for charter operator and policyholder, in the event of an accident or incident resulting in bodily injury or property damage, due to the commercial operation of an insured aircraft.
- Typically includes coverage for legal defense, in the event the operator or policyholder is sued, due to an accident or incident involving one of the insured aircraft.
- Hull Coverage:
- Covers physical damage to the aircraft insured by the aircraft charter insurance policy, up to the agreed value of the aircraft insured.
- Coverage options may include Full-Flight-Hull, Ground In-Motion, and Ground Not-In-Motion
- Covers physical damage to the aircraft insured by the aircraft charter insurance policy, up to the agreed value of the aircraft insured.
