Aviation War & Allied Perils

Category: insurance

Specialized insurance covering aircraft loss caused by war, terrorism, sabotage, hijacking, or political confiscation.

Standard aviation hull and liability policies carry an absolute exclusion for acts of war or terrorism. Fleet operators running international routes must buy back this coverage through a dedicated "War Risk" market, protecting their capital from geopolitical surface-to-air threats.

Common Examples

• The commercial airline purchased an aviation war risk policy before operating routes through the politically unstable border corridor.
• Confiscation by a foreign government is a standard inclusion within a comprehensive aviation war and allied perils contract.
