Avsurance Marks 35 Years Serving Aviation With Tailored Insurance Solutions
/
Avsurance is celebrating 35 years of helping aircraft owners and aviation businesses protect their operations. Founded in 1991 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Avfuel Corporation, the aviation insurance agency continues to tailor its offerings as aircraft, businesses and the risks they face evolve.
“Thirty-five years is an incredible milestone, but what we’re really celebrating are the people who made it possible: our clients, our carrier partners and our team,” said Jim Coleman, vice president of Avsurance. “Many of those relationships span decades. Their trust challenges us to keep learning what aviation businesses need and to help them find coverage that fits.”
Coverage for Common and Specialized Risks
Avsurance serves aircraft owners, corporate flight departments, FBOs, airports, charter operators, flight schools and other aviation businesses. Alongside aircraft, property and liability insurance, its portfolio includes coverage for exposures that may extend beyond an aircraft or hangar. Cyber coverage, for example, can address risks to the systems aviation businesses use for scheduling, payments, maintenance records and customer information. Environmental liability coverage can help address risks associated with fuel storage and handling. Avsurance also offers crime, directors and officers, and employment practices liability coverage.
Innovative Bundling to Simplify Coverages and Costs
The agency’s approach extends to how it packages coverage for specific operations. Its Part 91 insurance bundle, developed for smaller flight departments, addresses needs such as workers’ compensation minimums, contractor coverage and garagekeepers liability. The offering reflects Avsurance’s work to identify where standard insurance arrangements may be a poor fit for an aviation customer and develop more tailored options.
Guidance Beyond Coverage: An Agency That Works for You
Avsurance’s work also extends beyond placing policies. A ground-handling claim, an undocumented safety practice or a change in operations can complicate a renewal, even for a well-run business. Avsurance helps clients review their exposures early, organize training and safety records, explain corrective actions after a loss and present underwriters with a clear picture of the operation. The team also helps clients examine where policies may leave gaps, including how coverage would respond if a cyber incident interrupted day-to-day operations.
“An aircraft owner and an FBO may both need aviation insurance, but their exposures are very different,” Coleman said. “Our job is to understand how each client operates, ask what may have changed and bring them options that make sense for their business. That personal attention has guided Avsurance for 35 years, and it will continue to guide us.”
Attendees can meet Coleman and Nic Iagulli, senior account executive at Avsurance, during NBAA-BACE in Avfuel booth number 3445. For more information about Avsurance and its insurance offerings, visit avsurance.com.
