AOPA Insurance Services Offers Commercial Coverage for Aviation Businesses

Frederick, MD - AOPA Insurance Services (AOPAIS) announces the launch of a new line of coverage for aviation businesses, offering its service to fixed-base operators (FBOs), charter and agricultural aviation businesses, flight schools, repair stations and a variety of other aviation enterprises.

Based in Wichita, KS, AOPAIS already offers a wide range of aviation insurance for everything from two-seat Piper Cubs to business jets. The new commercial line will complement the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association’s (AOPA) mission of protecting the freedom to fly by offering insurance coverage to businesses that work at the heart of general aviation.

“We’re really excited about this new line of coverage because we know we can offer very competitive rates to FBOs, flight schools and repair stations,” says Bill Snead, president of AOPAIS. “We understand that the margins are thin in these businesses and that cost control and comprehensive coverage can be critical to their success. We want to make sure that they have both.”

In addition to the new commercial line of coverage, AOPAIS has expanded to offer a variety of programs for pilots, including special insurance coverage for flying clubs and an accident forgiveness program.  AOPAIS also now manages AOPA’s term life and dismemberment and disability policies.
