Boeing Business Jets (BBJ) Insurance

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 coverage solutions that protect these unique assets in every phase of flight and ownership.

Who This Page Is For

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.

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 international routing profiles, multiple crew teams, and dedicated maintenance programs that require specialized insurance underwriting.

Key Factors That Influence Your Quote

• Aircraft Type & Configuration: BBJ variant, cabin layout, and installed equipment (auxiliary fuel tanks, long-range avionics, and custom interiors).
• Operational Scope: worldwide navigation, overwater exposure, and base of operations; includes political risk and sanctioned-region routing.
• Crew Experience: total time, type-specific experience, recurrent simulator training, and international procedures certification.
• Maintenance Program: participation in Boeing GoldCare, JSSI, or OEM-managed programs; AOG response and inspection tracking.
• Hull Value: BBJ hull values commonly exceed $80M–$350M, requiring accurate appraisals and lender-compliant coverage limits.
• Ownership Structure: private, corporate, government, or managed operation; compliance with registration and operational control regulations.
• Loss History: prior claims, SMS implementation, and safety audit records (IS-BAO, ARGUS, or Wyvern registration).

Common Coverages for Boeing Business Jets

• Liability: high-limit coverage ($100M–$500M+), including passenger, third-party, and premises liability; optional contractual liability for charter or government operations.
• Hull (Agreed Value): all-risk coverage including flight, taxi, and ground operations; deductible and self-insured retention structures available.
• Crew & Passenger Coverage: loss-of-license, personal accident, and medical coverage for flight and cabin crew.
• Spare Parts & Equipment: protection for engines, APUs, avionics, and stored or shipped aircraft components.
• Extra Expense & Loss of Use: compensation for substitute charter or operational downtime following a covered loss.
• War, Terrorism, & Political Risk: essential for global operations, covering confiscation, hijacking, and hostile acts.
• Lender & Lessor Endorsements: breach-of-warranty, loss payee, and additional insured protection for financiers or lessors.

Pilot Training & Crew Standards

For BBJ operations, insurers expect professional flight department standards. This includes simulator-based initial and recurrent training for all crew through Boeing or approved training centers such as CAE and FlightSafety. Recurrent training, CRM, and SMS documentation all contribute to favorable underwriting outcomes. For international operators, annual RVSM, ETOPS, and oceanic procedures validation is recommended.

Operational Considerations

• Global Coverage: ensure compliance with international insurance requirements (e.g., EU Regulation 785/2004 minimums).
• Maintenance & Tracking: ongoing adherence to Boeing maintenance standards and participation in OEM programs improve insurability.
• Security: secure hangar storage, risk assessments for overseas stops, and appropriate war-risk endorsements.
• Management Oversight: flight departments or third-party management companies should maintain comprehensive SMS and documented SOPs.

Cost Drivers & Ways to Optimize

• Provide full crew résumés and recurrent training documentation.
• Enroll in Boeing-approved maintenance programs with verifiable tracking.
• Consolidate hull, liability, and war-risk under one insurer to streamline administration and pricing.
• Maintain formal safety audits (IS-BAO or ARGUS Platinum) to demonstrate operational maturity.
