AIN’s Corporate Aviation Leadership Summit (CALS) West brought together business aviation leaders to examine and discuss some of the most pressing issues facing the industries. Topics addressed during the gathering in Scottsdale, Arizona, included insurance & risk, managing generational differences, hiring & compensation, legal matters, skills retention, safety, training and FBO surcharges.

Insurance can be seen as something of a necessary evil, in part fuelled by perception issues stemming from stereotypes amplified on TV about insurance companies, agents, underwriters, and claims adjustors. Our round table discussion acknowledged that in the business aviation industry, insurance can be a significant value proposition and that there is a lot more to it than simply buying aircraft hull and insurance cover.
