Aviation Hull Insurance

Category: insurance

Property insurance that covers physical damage to the aircraft itself, whether in flight or on the ground.

Hull insurance protects against structural damage to an airplane or helicopter. It can be written as "Ground Only," "Ground Including Taxiing," or "All Risks" (which includes full flight operations). It is heavily underwritten based on pilot hours, aircraft make, and tail history.

Common Examples

• The carrier required an updated pilot log before binding the aviation hull insurance for the corporate jet.
• A landing gear failure triggered a major claim under the hull insurance policy for structural repairs.
