Overview of the Program From Arlington/Roe
Many aircraft owners and operators need liability limits that exceed what their primary policies provide. Arlington/Roe’s Aircraft Excess Liability Insurance program helps independent agents and brokers secure higher limits for these aviation clients—backed by over 85 combined years of aviation insurance expertise. Whether your client operates a single aircraft or manages a fleet, we can help find the right excess coverage through our network of over 35 aviation insurance carriers.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
We work with a broad range of aviation-related risks, including:
- Aircraft: Fixed Wing and Helicopter; Commercial, Corporate, Personal, and Non-Owned; Piston, Turbo-Prop, and Jet; Aerial, Antique, Military, Emergency, and Cargo operations
- Airports: Commercial, Corporate, Municipal, and Private airports; Helipads, Control Towers, Maintenance Facilities, and Fixed Base Operators (FBOs)
- Aviation Products Liability: Critical and Non-Critical Parts Manufacturers and Distributors; Components for Passenger, Military, and General Aviation Aircraft; Ground Handling and Repair Facilities
- Aviation Worker's Compensation: Charter Operators, Manufacturers, Flight Schools, FBOs, and Service Centers—even when aviation is not the primary class code
We welcome both experienced aviation agents and those newer to the space. If you have a client upgrading from piston aircraft to a jet, or a charter operation seeking additional limits for a contract, we can help you navigate excess placement.
