Insurance Carrier Covers Aircraft From Europe To Australia And New Zealand

QBE the Americas has announced the creation of a U.S.-based general aviation underwriting operation to be headquartered in Atlanta. William P. McGloin, Roger M. Ridings, Michael Clark and Russell Walker make up the new team of aviation insurance professionals.

"The U.S. is the largest market for general aviation in the world," says QBE's Chief Executive Officer for the Americas, John Rumpler. "We're pleased to start this operation that will offer a broad range of coverage and bring our company full circle as a true worldwide provider for general aviation insurance services.  The aviation team that has been created will work in collaboration with QBE Aviation European Operations." QBE is already a major aviation insurance writer in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the Pacific.

General aviation insurance includes all types of aircraft except for military and major airlines. QBE the Americas' Aviation Team will work with personal-use aircraft owners, as well as corporations and airports to provide physical damage, liability and workers' compensation coverage.

Headquartered in Sydney, Australia, QBE operates out of 49 countries claiming a presence in every key insurance market.
