Bombardier Business Aircraft Insurance

Bombardier’s business jets have set the standard for comfort, range, and performance in private aviation. From the reliable Challenger series to the ultra-long-range Global family, these aircrafts represent significant investments that require specialized, high-limit coverage. Aero Insurance partners with underwriters experienced in complex and international operations to deliver tailored policies that align with your mission, maintenance standards, and operational structure.

Who This Page Is For

Corporate flight departments, private owners, and charter or management companies operating Bombardier jets—including the Challenger 300, 350, 3500, 605, 650, and the Global 5000, 5500, 6000, 6500, and 7500. We also assist aircraft financiers, lessors, and government operators requiring high-value, multinational coverage solutions.

Typical Uses We See

Transcontinental and intercontinental executive travel, fractional ownership, on-demand charter, and corporate shuttle operations. Many Bombardier jets are flown under professional flight departments with multi-pilot crews and global itineraries that cross multiple insurance jurisdictions.

Key Factors That Influence Your Quote

• Aircraft Model & Configuration: Challenger vs. Global series, production year, avionics suite (Pro Line 21, Vision flight deck), and modifications.
• Crew Experience: total time, type-specific experience, recurrent simulator training, and CRM/SMS participation.
• Operation Type: Part 91 corporate flight, Part 135 charter, government, or special mission usage.
• Maintenance Program: participation in Bombardier Smart Parts, JSSI, or OEM-approved tracking programs.
• Hull Value: aircraft valuation, typically ranging from $15M to $100M+, requiring accurate appraisals and agreed-value documentation.
• Operational Regions: coverage must match your flight routes—domestic, transatlantic, or global—with optional war-risk and political risk extensions.
• Ownership Structure: corporate, individual, or trust-based registration, with corresponding lender/lessor endorsement requirements.

Common Coverages for Bombardier Aircrafts

• Liability: high-limit ($100M–$500M+) coverage for passengers, property, and third parties; includes contractual and hangarkeepers liability where needed.
• Hull (Agreed Value): all-risk coverage for full-flight, taxi, and ground operations; options for deductible flexibility and self-insured retention.
• Crew Coverage: medical, loss-of-license, and personal accident protection for flight and cabin crew.
• Extra Expense & Loss of Use: compensation for substitute charter or operational downtime due to covered loss or damage.
• War & Terrorism: global war-risk and hijacking protection for international operations.
• Lender / Lessor Requirements: breach-of-warranty, loss payee, and additional insured endorsements for financing or leasing arrangements.
• Spare Parts & Equipment: coverage for engines, avionics, and rotable components in storage or transit.

Pilot Training & Crew Standards

Bombardier aircraft operators are expected to meet the highest training standards. Underwriters typically require simulator-based recurrent training for all flight crew at OEM-approved centers such as FlightSafety or CAE. Crew qualifications, CRM procedures, and Safety Management System (SMS) documentation all contribute to favorable terms and expanded insurer options.

Operational Considerations

• Maintenance: OEM program participation (Smart Parts, JSSI, etc.) demonstrates proactive risk management and enhances claims efficiency.
• Flight Department Oversight: operators with established SOPs, manuals, and IS-BAO or ARGUS certifications receive stronger market positioning.
• International Exposure: underwriters will consider navigation limits, global risk areas, and local insurance requirements for overflight and landing permits.
• Storage & Security: hangarage with fire suppression, security monitoring, and environmental control is preferred for high-value hulls.

Cost Drivers & Ways to Optimize

• Ensure all pilots complete annual simulator recurrent training.
• Submit SMS documentation, safety audit reports, and maintenance tracking data with your renewal application.
• Bundle hull, liability, and war-risk coverages under a single insurer for pricing efficiency and simplified claims handling.
• Maintain OEM program participation to preserve aircraft value and streamline claims adjustment.
