Description

Boost your aviation expertise with our comprehensive Aviation Liability and Insurance Training. This course gives aviation professionals, regulators, airline operators, and service providers the skills they need to understand aviation liability, insurance principles, and risk exposure. You learn how to apply these concepts in real operational settings and how to protect your organisation against legal and financial risks.

Understanding Aviation Liability

The course begins with the fundamentals of aviation liability. You explore legal responsibilities, operational risks, and the factors that shape liability in different flight operations. You also examine the roles of airlines, airports, service providers, and regulators. This foundation helps you identify risk sources early and respond effectively.

International Frameworks and Conventions

You review the major international treaties that define aviation liability. These include the Chicago Convention and global frameworks that guide airline responsibilities, passenger rights, and third-party claims. By studying these rules, you learn how states and operators manage obligations in international civil aviation.

Core Aviation Insurance Principles

The training explains how aviation insurance works and how insurers evaluate risk. You study the structure of aviation insurance policies and learn the purpose of hull, passenger liability, third-party liability, and ground handling insurance. This section helps you choose the right level of coverage and reduce exposure to operational losses.

Practical Case Studies and Real Scenarios

Throughout the course, you analyse real aviation cases. These examples show how organisations handle incidents, claims, and disputes. You learn how to document events, communicate with insurers, and manage investigations. The case-based approach highlights common errors and teaches you how to prevent them.
