Helicopter pilots are a rare breed, and while most insurance companies think we laugh in the face of danger and fly into places you couldn’t squeeze a small car, the reality is we are generally a responsible bunch. A helicopter demands a certain amount of coolness, a light but sure touch on the controls, and a pilot that thoroughly understands the machine. So why are insurance companies so quick to run and hide when you ask for a quote? To be fair, there are insurance companies that will gladly offer terms, and there are some that will decline no matter what seasoned insurance agent you send against them. The key is to know what programs to look for and to find an agent who understands your operation and your helicopter.

At Aviation Insurance Solutions, we understand the risks involved in rotor wing operations. Many of our agents are former underwriters and understand how to place your helicopter insurance risk. We know the personalities of the individual underwriters, and we know who to approach to get you the best helicopter insurance coverage and price.
