Zurich Aviation Insurance provides the right protection for passengers, pilots and aircraft holders, while offering a range of services to meet your specific requirements.

The Swiss Aviation Act states that holders are liable for any bodily injury and property damage that their aircraft may cause to a person
The injured party need only prove that there is a causal link between the damage and the aircraft

Covers third-party claims for bodily injury and property damage outside the aircraft, where the aircraft causes the damage (third-party liability insurance)
Combines liability insurance for passengers and third parties to create a combined single limit (CSL) with a lump-sum guarantee
Covers losses where passengers are injured or die, and where their luggage is damaged or lost (CSL)

Comprehensive insurance covers damage to the aircraft caused by fire, natural forces (e.g. gales, hail, landslide), theft or small animals
Stationary aircraft hull insurance provides comprehensive cover for aircraft on the ground, even if the engines are run for test purposes
The sum insured is based on the aircraft’s fair value; the deductible is tailored to your requirements

Accident insurance for passengers and crew members; benefits are defined on a case-by-case basis
Protects passengers and crew against the financial consequences of an aviation accident
