Overview of the Program from Arlington/Roe
This Aviation Workers' Compensation program is placed through Arlington/Roe as a Managing General Agency and Excess & Surplus Lines broker. We offer access to admitted and non-admitted capacity across all available markets, leveraging relationships with more than 35 aviation-focused carriers to place complex and niche exposures that standard carriers often decline.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
- Fixed-wing and helicopter operations: commercial, corporate, personal and non-owned aircraft.
- General aviation maintenance and repair: FBOs, service centers, prop shops, avionics shops, repainting/refinishing, engine rebuilds, and related machine shops.
- Aviation and airport facilities: small municipal airports, private airports, helipads, control towers, maintenance facilities and FBO operations.
- Manufacturers and parts distributors: critical and non-critical parts for passenger, military and general aviation airframes and engines.
- Flight schools, charter and cargo operators, and ground handling/refueling operations.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
- Program tailored for the operational exposures common to aviation workplaces — maintenance bays, hangars, flight lines, and manufacturing floors.
- Ability to bind entire accounts that include aviation exposures even when the aviation class code is secondary to the account.
- Access to both admitted and non-admitted markets nationwide, with specialized underwriting capacity for higher-hazard classes.
- Support from an experienced aviation team for risk review, class code selection, and loss control recommendations tailored to aviation operations.
Underwriting Notes
Underwriting focuses on detailed operations descriptions, payroll allocations by class code, risk controls in maintenance and manufacturing areas, and prior loss history. Arlington/Roe can consider accounts where the aviation class code is not the largest payroll item, but full exposure detail must be provided. Minimum premiums and terms vary by carrier and state; contact Arlington/Roe for specific appetite and placement guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of aviation accounts are a good fit for Arlington/Roe’s Aviation Workers' Compensation program?
Accounts such as FBOs, maintenance and repair shops, flight schools, charter operators, avionics manufacturers/installers, repainting/refinishing shops, engine rebuild facilities, and parts distributors are well suited. We also consider mixed commercial accounts where aviation is part of the overall exposure.
Can Arlington/Roe place accounts in admitted and non-admitted markets?
Yes. Arlington/Roe places business in admitted and non-admitted markets and works with carrier partners across all available markets to find the best fit for the risk and state requirements.
What submission details improve the chances of placement?
Provide a clear description of operations, payroll by class code, recent loss runs (five years if available), safety and loss-control practices, and details on maintenance, manufacturing, or hangar operations. The more specific the submission, the quicker underwriters can evaluate appetite.
Do you write accounts where aviation isn’t the primary class code?
Yes. One of our program strengths is the ability to write entire accounts even when the aviation class code is not the primary payroll item, as long as full exposure details are supplied.
