Corporate & Part 91 Aircraft Insurance

Tailored coverage for business and private operations—built around ownership structure and real-world use

The hangar

Corporate and Part 91 operations support private, business, and executive travel without holding out for hire. These aircraft are commonly operated by corporations, partnerships, or private entities to support internal travel needs. Proper corporate aircraft insurance ensures owners and operators are protected across non-commercial flight operations.

Insuring a corporate or Part 91 aircraft involves more than aircraft type alone. Underwriters evaluate ownership structure, pilot qualifications, aircraft utilization, operating regions, and how the aircraft supports business activities. Coverage must accurately reflect non-commercial use and regulatory compliance.

With Aero Insurance, you can compare all available quotes from every major aviation underwriter using one streamlined application. This approach helps eliminate coverage gaps and ensures your policy is built around your operation—not a generic template.

Common Coverages for Corporate & Part 91 Operations

Most corporate aircraft insurance policies are built using a combination of the following coverage components:

  • Aircraft liability insurance: bodily injury and property damage, including passenger liability.
  • Hull insurance: physical damage coverage for the aircraft during ground and flight operations.
  • Passenger liability: coverage appropriate for executive and guest passengers.

Pilot Qualifications and Training Considerations

Pilot training, currency, and operational discipline play a major role in underwriting decisions. Insurers typically favor operators who maintain recurrent training, standardized procedures, and documented safety practices.

Managing Costs and Improving Eligibility

Corporate and Part 91 operators can often improve eligibility and control premiums by:

  • Maintaining experienced and well-trained flight crews
  • Documenting training, procedures, and safety practices
  • Selecting liability limits aligned with passenger exposure
  • Maintaining a strong safety and compliance record

Corporate Aircraft Types

Insurance considerations vary based on aircraft type and mission profile. Turboprops, light jets, midsize jets, and large cabin aircraft each present unique underwriting considerations.
