Securing group insurance plans that can accommodate a wide range of commercial aviation personnel such as pilots, engineers, cabin crew, ground staff and management can be challenging. Only a small number of providers are willing to support these more complex types of risk.
Group insurance is an effective way of leveraging buying power and enabling you to tailor insurance policies to your specific needs at reduced rates. Our insurance solutions can help you attract, protect and retain your employees or members.
If you need a group scheme to fit within an Enterprise Agreement, Air Pilot Award or budget, we'll work with you to tailor a bespoke solution. In the aviation industry, the benefits of such coverage should not be underestimated.
