Insights to Private Aircraft Charter Insurance

Passengers onboard our Private Aircraft Charter service are our priority.

At Latitude Air Charters, the passengers onboard our Private Aircraft Charter service are the number one priority and as our priority, we are mindful not only to your communicated requirements but also to the inherent expectations of a premium jet charter service. In an industry where demand at short notice often provokes a focus on fulfilling the request, ensuring that your wellbeing and satisfaction are not undermined remains integral to our mission.

One way we prioritize our clients is to ensure our aircraft partnerships are continuously monitored and important criteria such as Passenger Liability Insurance remain current. This factor has equal importance to both the passengers onboard as well as to their families or dependents at home. Would the men and women who utilize a Corporate Jet Charter be willing to put themselves and their families at a potential disadvantage? Would the Group Air Charter passengers onboard be willing to put themselves and their families at a potential disadvantage? These are questions we do not need answered.

Insurance pitfalls

Continuous monitoring allows our team to mitigate the risks of a client flying on an aircraft without adequate liability coverage, below recommended global minimums or much worse, without any insurance coverage. Let us delve a bit deeper into these areas:

Unwilling to Compromise Your Flight

Is it right to assume an operator’s comfort level for passenger liability coverage will match the recommended minimum or your own requirements? We do not think so and this is one of the areas we can discuss when proposing a customized aircraft charter solution to you.

Whist our discussion to this point has touched on the potential pitfall of flying on an aircraft with no coverage due to a breach of payment terms, there are other potential breaches of aircraft liability insurance that are worth mentioning as we look to conclude our insights on Private Aircraft Charter Insurance:

Operations into specific geographical locations: Many policies have worldwide coverage, with restrictions for specific locations where you cannot operate the aircraft or fly-over with the aircraft. Such locations can include Venezuela, Cuba or North Africa.

Illegal use: An entity that has not obtained an air operator certificate from their regulatory authority cannot charter the aircraft to others or fly for hire/compensation. A private aircraft and a private aircraft approved for commercial operations are completely different in the eyes of the prevailing Civil Aviation Authority as well as to the Insurance underwriters.

Landing and Take Off from sites not in accordance with regulations: Unsafe operations can also qualify as an exclusion and void insurance coverage. Runway lengths, accelerate-stop distances and landing distance factors are items to be considered.

Unapproved use: There may be limitations to approved operations which may create insurance exposure on your next private aircraft charter, this is also an area worth considering.

Through our continuous monitoring and due diligence, we will work on your behalf in avoiding these scenarios on your next private aircraft charter.
