Q3 2024
What a difference a quarter makes. Abundant aviation reinsurance capacity has fueled aviation underwriting capacity resulting in the supply-demand balance tipping mostly in favor of the aerospace insurance buyer. Rate stability has been most favorable for light aircraft, corporate flight departments, and airline risks. Renewed appetite from London underwriters has even led to some favorable results for more complex risks that had been especially hard hit by the recent hard market.
The cautionary tale in all of this, however, is to remain alert. Unlike previous aviation insurance market cycles, volatility of worldwide events and their potential to directly impact aerospace claims could make this more consumer-friendly cycle shorter than before. Because the global aviation market is so small, the entry or exit of even a small number of carriers can quickly impact rates. Now, as carriers have become more data-driven, they nor their reinsurers will likely stomach even a short run of negative performance.
