Loss of License Cover - Navigator Insurance Brokers Ltd

Corporate and commercial pilots have always had a tough time securing insurance should they lose their license on grounds of ill health.

Since the arrival of Covid -19, insurers that were previously willing to provide such insurance have since retreated and are not currently offering.

The situation may well change again in future.

Please drop a line to Ms Romi Gill expressing your interest in this cover and we will be quick to advise just as soon as we see insurers again willing to offer cover.
