Extra Expense Coverage

What is it?

Pays “extra expense” of leasing or renting a temporary replacement aircraft while the scheduled aircraft is being repaired.”

Page 18: F L I G H T  F R I G H T :

Extra Expense Coverage

• Extra Expense means that portion of the actual cost of leasing or renting a replacement aircraft which exceeds the cost the named insured would have incurred if they could have operated the scheduled aircraft had it not been damaged.

Selecting the Correct Limits – The Four Primary Items To

Consider

• Aircraft Type(s)• Passengers• Operations • Location

Page 24: F L I G H T  F R I G H T :

Selecting the Correct Limits

• Aircraft Type(s)– Airline Equipment, Corporate Turbine, &

Piston– Each has unique roles– Policy limits will vary tremendously

Page 25: F L I G H T  F R I G H T :

Selecting the Correct Limits

• Passengers– Who are they?

• Employee or not?• Occupations, Income Levels, Family, Age

– What is the average passenger load?– How often do passengers fly?

Page 26: F L I G H T  F R I G H T :

Selecting the Correct Limits

• Operations– What exactly is the aircraft used for? Not all uses have the same exposure– Where does it fly? International Ops? Over water?

Low level?

Page 27: F L I G H T  F R I G H T :

Selecting the Correct Limit

• Location– Where is the aircraft based? – Key here is exposure to people and

property on the ground.

Page 28: F L I G H T  F R I G H T :

Selecting the Correct LimitTakeaway points

• There is no fixed correct limit to carry since all operations and aircraft are unique.

• Look at your own operation and the exposure that exists within it first.

• Different limits may be considered for individual aircraft or departments

• Available limits can have impact on settlements– Average settlement for a fatality on a U.S. based

airline $3M - $5M– Many settlements for fatalities involving small

piston aircraft are settled for $100K

Page 29: F L I G H T  F R I G H T :

Claims

• Causes of Loss– Pilot Error

You Have A Claim…Now What?

• Policy Provisions – Be Familiar!

Page 42: F L I G H T  F R I G H T :

Claims: Items to Keep in Mind

• Contact Broker and/or Underwriter ASAP to report the loss.

• Your carrier may need to defend you! All involved should be careful discussing the loss. News travels very fast when an airplane is involved.

• Have pictures taken & preserve evidence• Actions you take may not be approved

(paid for) without carrier’s consent.

Page 43: F L I G H T  F R I G H T :

Claims: Items to Keep in Mind

• Have a distinct point of contact for the broker and claims team.

• Keep the communication lines open!!!

Page 44: F L I G H T  F R I G H T :
