Buying general aviation insurance
Just like a car or any mode of transport, a business aircraft is something which legally needs to be insured. The difference is that, as the cost of a jet or helicopter is far greater, the process of insuring the asset is a lot more complicated.
Rather than shopping around insurance providers yourself, in aviation, you generally enlist the help of an insurance broker to meet face-to-face with specialist underwriters in order to find you the best price and coverage for your aircraft.
