Aviation hangar keepers liability insurance is essential for Canadian businesses that store, service, maintain, or repair aircraft. When aircraft are in your care, custody, or control, even a minor incident can result in significant financial exposure. This specialized coverage protects hangar operators from costly claims.

Key Risks Hangar Operators Face

Aircraft on the ground are still exposed to serious risks, including:

• Accidental damage during maintenance or movement
• Fire or explosion inside hangars
• Weather-related damage during towing or storage
• Employee errors leading to aircraft damage
• Theft or vandalism within hangar premises

Aircraft repair costs can escalate quickly—especially for high-value private and commercial planes.

What Does Hangar Keepers Liability Cover?

Coverage is designed to respond to:

• Damage to customers’ aircraft
• Legal defense and settlement costs
• Operations inside or near hangars
• Financial loss arising from negligence claims

Why It’s Critical in Canada

Canada’s seasonal weather, busy regional airports, and strict aviation standards increase exposure. Proper hangar keepers liability insurance protects your reputation, contracts, and financial stability.

When aircraft are grounded in your care, this coverage keeps your business flying safely.
