Arlington/Roe’s long-standing relationships with an extensive list of aviation carriers allow us to broker liability insurance for virtually all types of aircraft and aviation operations. Our specialties span single- and multi-engine airplanes, turboprops, jets, helicopters, antiques, military, private, corporate and commercial aircraft — including owned and non-owned exposures.
Our aviation team is composed of career aviation brokers. We have worked together for 20 years and, combined, offer 85 years of aviation insurance and risk management experience. We represent more than 35 aviation markets and welcome submissions from agents experienced in aviation as well as those expanding into the class.
Overview of the Program From Arlington/Roe & Co., Inc.
This program places aviation liability across admitted and surplus markets as appropriate to the risk. Arlington/Roe works as a Managing General Agency and Excess & Surplus Lines broker to match each account with the best available market. We focus on tailored liability solutions rather than one-size-fits-all forms.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
- Private and corporate aircraft (piston, turboprop, and jet)
- Charter and commercial aircraft operations, including non-owned liability
- Helicopters for transport, medical/emergency services, aerial work
- Antique, warbird, and specialty aircraft
- Airports, FBOs, helipads, control towers, maintenance facilities
- Aviation products liability for parts distributors, manufacturers, and repair facilities
- Flight schools, fixed base operators, ground handling and refueling operations
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
- Liability forms for bodily injury, property damage and third-party exposures tailored to aircraft operations.
- Programs for owned hull and liability, non-owned liability, and combined packages depending on market appetite.
- Products and completed operations coverage for parts distributors, repair stations and manufacturers.
- Workers’ compensation solutions for aviation employers, including FBOs, maintenance shops, charter operators and schools.
- Access to a broad carrier panel (over 35 aviation markets) allowing competitive placement and flexible capacity options.
Underwriting Notes and Submission Guidance
Provide the following with submissions when possible to speed placement:
- Current operator resume(s) and pilot histories
- Aircraft logbooks and maintenance records for hull exposures
- Use of aircraft, typical flight areas, and any special operations (e.g., aerial application, medevac, external load)
- Loss history and details on safety programs, training and maintenance facilities
Underwriting restrictions vary by carrier; high-risk operations (e.g., certain experimental flight testing, non-compliant maintenance operations, or operators with extensive losses) may require specialist markets. Arlington/Roe will guide you toward the markets most likely to quote based on the risk profile.
