 COMMERCIAL AVIATION INSURANCE
Numerous commercial aviation operators, especially those with smaller operations and numbers of aircraft, have been hurt by the decision of several key insurers to discontinue underwriting commercial aviation insurance.
However, when companies began to examine and evaluate commercial aviation insurance on its own profitability, a number of them decided that the risk profile and claim liability were not only preventing them from earning profits, but were also having a negative effect upon their bottom line.
The commercial aviation insurance market is definitely in a state of flux, but the changes that have been occurring—though abrupt—are part of longer term business and economic cycles.

The departure of several key insurance carriers from certain segments of the commercial aviation market has led to a coverage crisis for many owners of the smaller commercial aviation operations.
