Aviation Products Liability

Category: insurance

Liability insurance for companies that manufacture, distribute, or service aircraft components and parts.

A minor flaw in an aviation bolt or sensor can bring down a commercial airliner. Because the risk is so catastrophic, standard product liability policies completely exclude aviation work. Specialized aviation products coverage is required for any machine shop or software developer supplying the aerospace sector.

Common Examples

• The component manufacturer purchased a dedicated aviation products liability policy before securing a contract with Boeing.
• Aviation products liability underwriting requires extensive documentation of the manufacturer’s quality control and metallurgical testing tracks.
