The aviation sector operates in a uniquely high-risk, high-regulation environment where precision matters, timelines are tight, and reputations are built on resilience.
At Price Forbes, our mission is to look beyond the traditional confines of the insurance sector, delivering client-centric solutions across the entire risk landscape. That means broadening policy coverage, evolving placement structures to maximise savings and synergies, and aligning our approach with your boardroom priorities.
We work with brokers globally, supporting clients across the aviation and aerospace industries from single aircraft owners to major flag carriers, service providers, manufacturers, airports, and the space sector.
Our team continues to grow with passionate, experienced professionals who share a commitment to meeting and exceeding client expectations. We believe in partnership, not just placement, providing trusted advice with professionalism, integrity, and a bespoke service tailored to your needs.

We offer more than insurance placement; we provide the advisory layer that brings clarity and control to risk.
We’re a trusted partner, not just a provider, focused on protecting your operations, relationships, and reputation.
Managing aviation claims requires precision, persistence, and market influence. Our global claims team brings decades of experience handling complex cases across the aviation spectrum, from general aviation fleets to national carriers, airports, ATCs, ground handlers, manufacturers, and space risks.
We focus on three core principles:
We also share insights on emerging claims trends, whilst always respecting confidentiality, so you stay informed on evolving risks.
In February 2025, we hosted our inaugural Airline Operators Risk Conference in Bogotá, bringing together leading voices from across the global aviation market to discuss emerging risks, regulatory change, and the evolving role of insurance. Due to overwhelming demand, we’ll be returning in February 2026.

Our reputation in the aviation market is built on technical strength, commercial understanding and tenacity. We’re not just placing policies, we’re representing aviation business interests at every stage of the journey.
We bring sharp insight, clear communication, and a commitment to securing terms that reflect real-world exposures.
That depends on your operation, but at a minimum, most clients require hull insurance (for physical damage to the aircraft) and liability insurance (for third-party injury or damage). From private jets to cargo fleets, we’ll structure a programme that reflects your actual exposures, not just market norms.
We typically recommend CSL where appropriate. It offers a single pot of cover for passenger, third-party and property claims, giving you broader protection and simpler claims resolution. But we’ll always advise based on your operation, not what’s convenient for insurers.
Premiums are shaped by a number of factors: aircraft type and value, usage (commercial, private, charter), pilot experience, flying hours, geography, claims history and more. Our role is to ensure that underwriters view your risk in the best light, and negotiate accordingly.
We’ll help you identify efficiencies. For some clients, this means adjusting deductibles, grouping policies, or revisiting how cover is structured. For others, it’s about improving safety data, training thresholds or aircraft storage standards. We focus on smart savings, not cutting corners.
Not always. If you own or lease hangar space, you may need separate hangarkeepers liability or premises cover. We’ll ensure nothing slips through the cracks, including third-party exposure on the ground.
If your aircraft is financed, the lender will almost certainly require Breach of Warranty cover. It protects their interest if a claim is denied due to a breach of policy terms. We’ll handle these arrangements, including direct issuance of Evidence of Insurance to your financiers.
Yes. Whether you're operating commercial drones, surveillance UAVs or inspection systems, you need dedicated coverage for both hull and third-party liability. We’re experienced in structuring policies that reflect the nuances of unmanned flight, across sectors and jurisdictions.
In most jurisdictions, at least third-party liability cover is legally required. Beyond that, comprehensive insurance is essential to protect your assets, your business continuity and your contractual obligations.
Not-in-motion cover only protects your aircraft when it’s parked or stored. If you want protection during taxiing or flight, you’ll need to extend cover to “in flight” risks. We’ll walk you through exactly what’s covered, and what isn’t, so there are no surprises.
Our aviation insurance team is always on hand to talk about ways we can join forces to take on the future.
