AOPA Insurance Agency celebrates 15 years of member service
“In order to address our members’ ongoing need for quality aviation insurance services, 15 years ago AOPA made the decision to create an aviation insurance agency that its members would own,” said AOPA President Phil Boyer. “Rather than the traditional model of endorsing an agency or underwriter and simply receiving a small royalty, AOPA members (along with our partner Aon Risk Services) now have an equity interest in the largest light aircraft insurance agency in the world, a successful business founded on their support, whose profit helps fund ongoing AOPA projects such as Airport Watch, Airport Support Network, Let’s Go Flying, and other efforts that depend so heavily on AOPA Certified Member Products.”
Five years ago, the AOPA Insurance Agency introduced special AOPA member-only discounts for owners, renters, and CFIs. AOPA members may qualify for a five-percent AOPA-member-only discount when their owned policy is placed with AIG Aviation. AOPA members with renter and CFI policies through AIG Aviation may qualify for a 10-percent AOPA-member-only discount at renewal if the pilot has maintained a good flying record during the policy year. Now there’s another great advantage for safety-minded pilots—the AOPA Accident Forgiveness and Deductible Waiver Enhancement—improving pilot safety-consciousness while helping to lower a pilot’s out-of-pocket expenses in the event of an accident.
“Our goal has always been to offer the best possible policy at the right price,” said Greg Sterling, AOPA Executive Vice President of Non-Dues Revenue. “Over the course of 15 years, we’ve built a reputation for helping pilots keep their costs down.”
