Aviation Insurance

Visão Geral

An aircraft is one of the most expensive machines a business can own, it carries hundreds of lives at once, and it can fall on a city it has never visited. No single insurer in Nigeria, or anywhere else, could pay for all of that alone. Aviation insurance is the answer the market built: a bundle of covers that protects the aircraft, its passengers and everyone on the ground, backed by pools and reinsurers who spread one catastrophe across the whole world.

In this lesson you will meet the three covers at the heart of every aviation programme, learn the risks that make this class unlike any other, see how the Chicago and Montreal Conventions and Nigerian law shape what an airline must buy before it may fly, and understand exactly why these risks are almost always reinsured or placed with a pool. You will work through the calculations an examiner can build from a single air crash.

Objetivos

  1. Identify the types of aviation insurance policy and the cover each provides
  2. Describe the risks peculiar to aviation insurance
  3. Explain the effect of international regulation on aviation insurance
  4. Explain why aviation risks are commonly re-insured or placed with a pool

Nota de Aula

A wide bodied jet leaving Lagos may be worth more than ₦20,000,000,000. On board sit three hundred passengers, each of whom the airline is bound by law to protect. If that aircraft comes down, three losses crystallise in the same instant: the machine itself, every passenger on it, and whatever it strikes on the ground. One event, three enormous bills, all payable at once. Aviation insurance exists to answer that single frightening possibility, and the way it is built, split into covers, then shared through pools and reinsurers, follows directly from it. Understand the crash and you understand the whole class.
