Aircraft Hull Insurance
General Liability policies often apply deductibles under the hull section, designed to cover loss of or damage to an aircraft.
To insure against physical damage, businesses should acquire hull insurance and can consider the following 3 options:
- Ground and Flight – Covers damage sustained wilst the aircraft is on the ground or in the air. This should be noted to include disappearance.
- Not in-flight – Specifically covers damage that occurs whilst the aircraft is on the ground, whether stationary or in motion.
- Not in motion – Coverage for the aircraft damage whilst the aircraft is grounded and stationary only.
Aircraft Liability
Thypically covers bodily injuries to passengers and/or third parties, and property damage to third parties.
