Overview of the Program from Arlington/Roe & Co., Inc.
Arlington/Roe’s Aviation Property Insurance program is supported by a deep, specialized aviation team. Our brokers combine over 85 years of aviation insurance and risk-management experience and have worked together for more than 20 years. We represent 35+ aviation carriers and provide access to admitted and surplus markets — giving agents strong placement options and responsive technical underwriting for aviation property accounts.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program fits a wide range of aviation-related insureds, including:
- Privately owned or leased hangars
- Fixed Base Operators (FBOs)
- Commercial and municipal airport properties
- Helipads and control towers
- Maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facilities
- Aircraft storage and tie-down facilities
You might have a client who operates a regional airport with multiple buildings and mobile equipment, or a private aircraft owner who leases hangar space and needs protection for business personal property. Both are good fits for this program. Appetite is broad but focused on established aviation operations and well-managed facilities.

Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
Underwriting emphasizes quality risks with established aviation operations, documented maintenance programs, and appropriate security controls. We can write entire accounts even when the aviation class code is not the primary exposure. Minimum premiums vary by risk size, location, and coverage needs; underwriters will evaluate exposures and provide competitive options across the markets we represent.
Territories and Availability
This program is available nationwide — all 50 states and Washington, D.C. — through admitted and excess & surplus markets. Whether the risk is a small rural airstrip or a busy metropolitan FBO, Arlington/Roe can help you find suitable capacity.
