WHERE IS THIS OFFERED?

Worldwide

The Beazley Difference

  • Integrated risk protection package that combines several coverages in just one policy
  • Affirmative coverage for claims made against an insured which results in bodily injury
  • Deep product knowledge since we pioneered Virtual Care in 2009
  • Knowledgeable Underwriters, Wordings Lawyers, and Claims Managers with expertise in all key areas of coverage
  • Dedicated Beazley Breach Response Services, including breach response management, information security insurance solutions, and risk management services

Examples or Scenarios

  • In the event of a wind storm hitting a major US airport. Usually aircraft can be moved at short notice but the number parked up during the pandemic prevented maintenance crews getting all aircraft through the required checks in time for them to be moved.
  • Airline bankruptcies mean that aircraft lessors incur costs in getting their assets recovered/repossessed.
  • A drone attack on an aircraft on departure leads to bodily injury and third-party property damage (liability) claims being covered by the aviation all-risk market and the aviation hull war market (marine) covering the loss of the aircraft.
