Aviation Insurance Experts — Plimsoll Specialty Markets Has You Covered

When your clients have aviation exposures, you need a wholesale partner with deep, practical experience in aerospace insurance. Plimsoll Specialty Markets, LLC is a wholesale broker that brings decades of aviation underwriting and placement knowledge to help retail agents and brokers navigate this specialized market.

Our aviation team provides consultative support and direct market access for nearly every aviation-related risk. Whether a client owns a corporate jet, operates a flight school, maintains aircraft on the ground, or manufactures aerospace components, we work with you to source competitive, tailored coverage.

Ideal Accounts and Classes

We specialize in hard-to-place and niche aviation risks, including:

If your client’s operations touch the aviation ecosystem, there is a strong chance we have a market that fits.

Coverage Highlights and Placement Advantages

Plimsoll Specialty provides access to a broad set of aviation products and placement strategies that can be structured to a client’s operational risk:

Coverage can be structured with limits starting at $1 million and, in many cases, up to $2 billion. We work to match policy terms and limits to the client’s exposure rather than forcing one-size-fits-all solutions.

Underwriting Expertise and Flexibility

Our underwriters are industry veterans who understand aviation operations, contract language, and liability drivers. We help you assemble strong submissions and present them to the right carrier partners. Plimsoll Specialty works with multiple carriers and offers both admitted and non-admitted options depending on the risk and jurisdictional needs.

Typical Appetite and Common Restrictions

We are best suited for accounts with identifiable aviation operations and documented risk controls. Typical fits include corporate aircraft operations, certificated and non-certificated operators, MROs, manufacturers of aircraft components, airport operators, and aviation services contractors. Extremely high-risk operations without established safety programs, uncertified experimental operations, or exposures outside standard regulatory compliance may be declined or require specialized terms; contact us early on these accounts so we can assess marketability.

Example Account Scenarios

• You have a mid-sized corporation with a light jet used for executive travel — we can package hull and liability with crew and non-owned exposures.
• You represent an FBO that provides fueling, line service, and hangar rental — we can combine airport GL, hangar property, and optional contractors’ exposures.
• You insure an aerospace component manufacturer supplying avionics parts — we can seek products liability and premises coverage tailored to the manufacturing operations.

Available Nationwide

We can place aviation risks in all 50 states plus Washington, D.C. Whether your client operates at a major hub or a rural airstrip, we’ll help find the right fit across admitted and non-admitted markets.
