Air insurer Global Aerospace unveils online drone coverage
Air industry insurer Global Aerospace has launched online insurance plans for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Annual policies can be bought via credit card on a new portal, said Chris Proudlove, Global Aerospace’s senior vice president and manager of UAS risks. The move comes after Global Aerospace issued a white paper on best practices for the growing number of drone users.

International aviation and aerospace insurance provider Global Aerospace has launched an online portal for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) insurance products. Its new UAS online portal allows drone owners and operators to purchase an annual insurance policy online and pay securely via credit card.

“For a number of years, Global Aerospace has been developing portal technology to simplify access to our insurance products and help our customers transact business. Global has been at the forefront of insuring the UAS industry, and the development of this portal is another example of our leadership and dedication…to this rapidly expanding market,” said Chris Proudlove, Global Aerospace’s senior vice president and manager of UAS risks.

In related news, the aviation insurer recently published a paper to help existing or potential UAS owners and operators to “understand best practices and safely use this incredible technology in a way that will foster long-term success.” The white paper, “Sky High Drone Growth Presents Challenges and Opportunities,” is available online for free.
