Airshow and Air Meet Insurance

Airshows and air meets are not covered under standard airport general liability policies. That’s why Arlington/Roe & Co., Inc. offers a dedicated Airshow and Air Meet Insurance program designed to protect your insureds from the unique and elevated exposures associated with these events. Whether your client is hosting a small balloon festival or a large-scale aerobatic performance, this program provides coverage options for liability, property loss, event cancellation, rain insurance, and liquor liability.

Given the level of risk and complexity involved, it's critical that not only your insureds but also all performers, vendors, and contractors are appropriately covered. Our aviation liability policies are crafted to address these exposures while clearly outlining exclusions, including coverage for participants or passengers in aircraft, balloons, or performing vehicles.

This program is a strong fit for:

• Municipal, private, or commercial airports hosting airshows
• Organizations coordinating air meets, fly-ins, or balloon events
• Event producers, aviation museums, and nonprofit airshow sponsors

You might have a client planning an annual aviation festival or a regional airport preparing for a multi-day airshow—these are ideal accounts for this program.

• General liability coverage tailored for airshows, fly-ins, and balloon events
• Optional rain insurance and event cancellation coverage
• Liquor liability coverage available when applicable
• Access to over 35 aviation insurance carriers

Note: Participant and passenger liability in performing aircraft or vehicles is excluded, as is standard in the aviation market.

Our aviation division consists of career aviation brokers who have worked together for over 20 years—bringing a combined 85 years of industry expertise to the table. We represent virtually every aviation insurance market and work with both experienced aviation producers and those new to the space. Our deep market access and responsive support make us a go-to resource for aviation-related risks.

Minimum premiums vary depending on risk size, event type, and coverage limits. Due to the high-exposure nature of these events, early submission and detailed event planning information are essential for underwriting review.

This program is available nationwide, including all 50 states and Washington, DC. Whether your client is hosting an event in Texas, California, New York, or anywhere in between, we can provide access to appropriate markets.
