Public Use Airports
From an insurance standpoint, public use private
airports are the same as any other aviation business. The owners of
these facilities have a duty to protect the public at the highest
reasonable degree of care. The airport owners should carry liability
insurance coverage to protect themselves from a claim of bodily injury
or property damage arising from the public’s use of the premises and
due to the negligence of the airport owner.
Additionally, like any other FBO, the airport
owner should consider purchasing products liability coverage and/or
hangarkeepers coverage if the owner engages in selling products,
performing work, or taking aircraft into his or her care. These are
commercial aviation liability coverages. The limits of coverage needed
and premiums are based on the size of the operation, the number of
units sold or the amount of work performed.
Private Airports and Airparks
Private (non-public use) airports are designed
primarily for the operations of the owner. Like any private property,
the public has limited access to the private airport. Some sort of
permission is usually required prior to aircraft operations at private
airports. Private use airports are all different from the
standpoint of their ownership, their intended use, and the level of
activity. From personal-use farm strips to business heliports
to extensive fly-in communities, private airparks
and privately owned airports have special risks and insurance
considerations.
ZANETTE can help private airport owners
understand what types of insurance are available and at what price
based on their specific situation. With this information, the owner can
weigh the premium versus the risk and decide on the appropriate course
of action.
