Why choose AIG Unmanned Aircraft Systems Insurance?

Our aerospace industry professionals have developed industry-specific “drone insurance” coverages that can be tailored to the specific needs of individual operators of unmanned aircraft.

Our Unmanned Aircraft Insurance policy provides broad physical damage and third party liability coverage, explicitly designed for the exposures of unmanned aircraft. 

  • Policy language drafted specifically to respond to the exposures of unmanned aircraft.
  • Coverage encompasses “operators” and specifies other non-pilot, on-ground crew members among the insureds.
  • There is NO exclusion for loss arising from electronic malfunctions and failure of electronic components, accessories and power equipment (Such an exclusion is standard on manned aircraft policies.)
  • Optional coverage for hi-jacking or any unlawful seizure or wrongful exercise of control by means of “spoofing”. Coverage is flexible, with terms and conditions customizable to individual needs.

The AIG Advantage

Unmanned aircraft can play a pivotal role in firefighting, search and rescue, and explosive detection. They are poised to become a critical public safety resource, with their use expected to become increasingly commonplace by municipalities of many sizes in the months and years ahead. We have developed an innovative endorsement to our commercial general liability insurance policy for public entities that provides express liability coverage for the insured’s unmanned aircraft. Coverage is designed for unmanned aircraft up to five pounds, with wingspans or combined rotor span of up to three feet—precisely the type of craft many of your public entity clients may be utilizing in the near future. Currently approved for public entities, this Unmanned Aircraft Liability Endorsement will soon be available for a range of risks, including but not limited to, farming, infrastructure maintenance, construction, and oil and gas exploration
