AVIATION INSURANCE SOLUTIONS
Light & General Aviation Insurance
AVGEN Ltd Aviation specialises in two sections of insurance:
- Light & General Aviation Insurance
- Commercial Aviation, (including passenger and cargo aircraft).
LIGHT & GENERAL AVIATION INSURANCE provides coverage for non-commercial aircraft operations, covering a wide range of aircraft types, from small single-engine planes to larger jets. This type of insurance is essential for aircraft owners, operators, and pilots to protect against a variety of risks, including accidents, property damage, injury, and legal liability. General aviation insurance can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the operator, pilot, and aircraft. It covers aircraft valued up to USD 3M. This includes everything from ultralight fixed-wing aircraft valued at USD 50,000–100,000 to twin-engine private jets like the Eclipse 550 at the higher end.
Types of Coverage:
LIABILITY INSURANCE: Protects against third-party claims for bodily injury or property damage caused by the aircraft. This is often required by law and is critical for legal and financial protection.
HULL INSURANCE: Covers physical damage to the aircraft itself, whether it’s due to an accident, weather-related event, or other circumstances.
MEDICAL PAYMENTS: Covers medical expenses for passengers and crew members in case of an accident, regardless of fault.
PASSENGER LIABILITY: Provides coverage for injuries or fatalities to passengers on board the aircraft.
GROUND/NON-OPERATING INSURANCE: Covers damages that occur when the aircraft is not in use or during maintenance.
AIRCRAFT RENTAL INSURANCE: Provides coverage when renting aircraft, either for personal or business use.
