Boeing Business Jets (BBJ) Insurance
Comprehensive coverage for Boeing Business Jets and VIP-configured airliners
Boeing Business Jets (BBJ) combine the proven reliability of Boeing’s commercial airframes with the customization and comfort of private aviation. Whether operating a BBJ 737-based model or a wide-body variant like the BBJ 787 or BBJ 777, owners face complex insurance needs driven by high hull values, global operations, and multinational crew structures. Aero Insurance delivers tailored solutions that let you compare all underwriters with one application—so there are no missed savings and no coverage holes.

From hull and liability to war and political risk, we help you structure coverage that aligns with your routes, your lenders, and your flight department standards, with proactive renewals and renewal in minutes, not hours.

Private owners, corporate flight departments, government entities, and charter or management companies (where authorized) operating Boeing Business Jets. We support BBJ 1–3 (737 family), BBJ MAX 7–9, BBJ 747-8, BBJ 777, and BBJ 787 models used for VIP, executive, or special mission operations—any profile where certificates on demand and lender-compliant language are essential.
Typical Uses We See
Intercontinental business travel, head-of-state transport, high-end charter (Part 135 or foreign equivalent), and VIP group operations. BBJ operators typically maintain global routing profiles, multiple crew teams, and dedicated maintenance programs that require specialized underwriting and coordination across multiple stakeholders.
Key Factors That Influence Your Quote
- Aircraft type & configuration: BBJ variant, cabin layout, auxiliary fuel systems, avionics upgrades, and bespoke interior installations.
- Operational scope: worldwide navigation, overwater exposure, typical regions served, and any operations near sanctioned or higher-risk areas.
- Crew experience: total time, time-in-type, recurrent simulator training, and international procedures qualifications.
- Maintenance program: participation in Boeing GoldCare, JSSI, or OEM-managed programs, with detailed tracking and documented inspections.
- Hull value: BBJ hull values often exceed $80M–$350M, requiring accurate appraisals, agreed values, and lender-aligned limits.
- Ownership structure: private, corporate, government, or managed arrangements, including operational control and regulatory compliance.
- Loss history: prior claims, SMS maturity, and external safety audits (IS-BAO, ARGUS, or Wyvern) that demonstrate operational discipline.
Common Coverages for Boeing Business Jets
- High-limit liability: $100M–$500M+ for passenger, third-party, and premises exposures, with contractual liability options for charter or government contracts.
- Hull (agreed value): all-risk coverage for flight, taxi, and ground operations, with deductible or self-insured retention structures tailored to your risk appetite.
- Crew & passenger coverage: loss-of-license, personal accident, and medical benefits for flight and cabin crew, plus VIP passenger protections where required.
- Spare parts & equipment: coverage for engines, APUs, avionics, and high-value spares stored on or off site.
- Extra expense & loss of use: offsets the cost of substitute lift or operational downtime following a covered loss.
- War, terrorism, & political risk: critical for global operations, addressing hijacking, confiscation, and hostile acts.
- Lender & lessor endorsements: breach-of-warranty, loss payee, and additional insured language—backed by certificates on demand to keep financiers and airports satisfied.
Pilot Training & Crew Standards
For BBJ operations, insurers expect professional flight department standards. This usually includes simulator-based initial and recurrent training for all crew through Boeing or approved providers such as CAE and FlightSafety. Documented CRM, SMS procedures, and line checks typically improve market appetite and pricing. For international crews, underwriters look favorably on recurring RVSM, ETOPS, and oceanic procedures validations.
Operational Considerations
- Global coverage: compliance with local and regional insurance requirements (e.g., EU 785/2004), including proof-of-insurance documentation.
- Maintenance & tracking: adherence to Boeing standards and OEM programs, including digital maintenance tracking and AOG response planning.
- Security: secure hangarage, risk assessments for higher-threat regions, and appropriate war/political risk endorsements.
- Management oversight: robust SMS, SOPs, and clearly defined operational control for owner-flown, corporate, or managed operations.
Cost Drivers & Ways to Optimize
- Provide comprehensive crew résumés, including simulator records and recurrent training logs.
- Enroll and remain current in OEM or approved maintenance programs with auditable records.
- Review hull values regularly to ensure accurate agreed values that meet lender expectations without overinsuring.
- Pursue or maintain IS-BAO, ARGUS, or similar third-party safety audits to demonstrate operational maturity.
