How are these providers ranked?Common risks and risk-financing considerations in Aviation & Aerospace
- Operators versus manufacturers — Operators carry hull, passenger and third-party liability tied to flight activity; manufacturers and component suppliers carry product liability that can surface years after delivery. Treat them as separate programs with separate data.
- High-severity liability — A single event can produce very large losses, so retained layers are usually examined against severity scenarios rather than average claims. Ask specialists how they model a large single loss and what sits above the retention.
- Contractual allocation — Leases, maintenance agreements and supply contracts often shift liability and insurance obligations between parties. Review those terms before deciding what the business actually retains.
- Cross-border work and specialist evidence — Aviation activity often spans several jurisdictions. Ask providers for experience with your segment and jurisdictions, and involve aviation counsel. A single-parent captive is one structure to discuss once the retained risk is defined.
