If your organisation owns or uses aircraft or an airfield, there’s a risk of aircraft damage or injured passengers. VMIA’s Aviation insurance policies cover you against these risks.
We have two types of aviation insurance:
- Hangar keepers' liability covers your legal liability for accidents at your airfield, damage to aircraft and aircraft equipment in your care, custody and control. Legal liability for aircraft maintenance, sales and repair operations is also covered.
- Non-ownership liability covers your legal liability for loss of or damage to aircraft, as well as legal liability to passengers and third parties.
Who’s covered?
- Your organisation and any of your employees engaged in operating, repairing, maintaining and using your aircraft or operating an airfield.
