Aircraft Insurance Outlook – April – May 2025

If you’re an Aviation Insurance Broker, you better have a GOOD new business pipeline

  • Rates have been on a major decline for over a year now forcing us aircraft insurance brokers to work harder for less money.
  • In other words, you better have a solid new business strategy.
  • Trump Tariffs have caused a lot of uncertainty in aircraft and parts for MROs and OEMs.
  • Upcoming Events – International Aircraft Dealers Association IADA in Scottsdale 5/12 – Pilatus Owner & Pilots Association POPA in Nashville 6/12
  • I’ll keep you posted as I hear more. I have my ear to the ground. Overall this is very positive and healthy for the private aircraft industry.
