AOPA Extends Insurance to Commercial Operations and Flying Clubs

Bill Snead, president of Wichita-based AOPA Insurance (Booth No. C10424)–a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association–put it most succinctly when he presented the company’s new options to members at NBAA 2013. “FBOs are our primary targets with our new commercial insurance offering. Beyond that, we are ready to insure corporate flight departments to a very high limit of liability,” he told AIN. “We know we can offer competitive rates, and that’s exciting.”

The company is also expanding into charter operator insurance, including Part 135 operations, agricultural operations and even manufacturing and repair facility insurance (which includes product liability insurance).
