The Aviation Market – What is it? The market is comprised of insurance companies prepared to underwrite/cover ‘fortuitous’ business risks in the aviation industry It is a true financial market – the commodity that is traded is insurance capacity to underwrite risk
The insurance market is international and it is accessed by brokers worldwide The risks are: – – – – –
airline helicopter general aviation corporate aircraft operators manufacturers, airport authorities, civil aviation authorities and aviation service providers (aerospace)

The Aerospace Market
Aon Risk Solutions I Global Broking Centre I Aviation
The Aerospace Market Aerospace risks are categorized as follows: – Manufacturers • Prime engine and airframe • Maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) • Sub-component manufacturers
– Service Providers • • • • •
Refueller / defuellers / refiners Fixed base operators Caterers Security screening companies Freight forwarders
– Airport • Airports and associated ground service providers • Air traffic control & Aviation Authorities
Aon Risk Solutions I Global Broking Centre I Aviation
The Aerospace Market The pace of market softening continues to accelerate – A premium reduction of 7% was recorded for 2015 • A 10% premium reduction has been achieved 2016 to date
Overcapacity is changing the course of the market – Competition is plentiful and at times aggressive • New entrants to the market are generating further competition
– Current markets are increasing their capacity • Some insurers are able to write business 100% with limits up to US$1 billion for all aerospace classes
– Layering of risks is becoming commonplace • Driven by markets wanting to participate on accounts having to differentiate themselves • Expiring limits are being split into two layers with the excess being offered at competitive terms
Aon Risk Solutions I Global Broking Centre I Aviation
Aerospace Overview 2015 Multi year deals were being placed, but no more than have been seen in recent years The same can be said for the layering of risks, this was still popular but no more than has been recorded in the last couple of years Limits have also remained static Airport clients reported a 7% increase in projected passenger numbers Manufacturing clients reported a 4% increase in projected turnover
Aon Risk Solutions I Global Broking Centre I Aviation
Aerospace Overview Renewals are still being looked at on an individual basis – Changes in loss records, exposures, limits and self insured retentions continue to have the greatest impact on premiums
Competition in all areas of aviation insurance is impacting the aerospace markets – Excess capacity available for all but the most undesirable of risks • For some sectors there is in excess of 300% available
– Although there are only a limited number of recognised lead underwriters for high indemnity limits or major prime manufacturers – Layering is becoming more prevalent

Key Insurance Market Issues Current attitude towards major aerospace renewals – Premium shrinkage – The effect on the market of a major loss – volatility argument
Drivers for Capital Providers – Capital providers believe that the aviation insurance class offers low frequency/high severity losses from a narrow band of premium income/portfolio – Every US$ of aviation income needs an equal backing of capital plus a strong margin of return (+20%) – Alternative classes may provide safer havens and better margins of return but until they do, expect softness – Return on capital adequate? Stay-in? On what basis? Near the trough? – Re-allocate or continued attractiveness of diversifying risk portfolio • Less or Uncorrelated to other cat loss • Other diversification strategies beyond aviation risk underway

Airports and ATC
Aon Risk Solutions I Global Broking Centre I Aviation
Airport and ATC Market Conditions 2016 has seen an 10% premium reduction for the year to date – Original currency premiums for 2015 renewals reduced by 8% – If this continues it will be the largest annual reduction since 2005
Airports and ATC generated approximately 11% of the overall aerospace market premium in 2015 – Airports made up the majority of this income
Estimated passenger exposures increased 7% in 2015 – Passenger exposures have only increased 3% in 2016 to date
Capacity is abundant for airport liability risks – The market is able to deploy over 300% for a US$1bn limit • This is of course only theoretical for the most desirable of risk

Commentary
Chubb
Do not participate on Quota Share for US risks – Airport Liability up to $1billion limit with War/Tria sub-limited to $750mil limit. Split between – Primary $100mil limit with Excess $650mil limit. Option for additional $250mil limit (excess of $750mil) London Market placement.
AIG Aerospace
Able to can write US / North American Airports 100% to 1 Billion
Berkley
$100 Mil Limit with main focus on small to medium size airports. On the larger - Airline type airports more likely to look to quota share approach
Global Aerospace
Stated max up to $500M capacity on 100% basis or first layer of a horizontal layered program. Select exceptions of 100% above that on case by case basis. Will lead and available to follow selected leaders only at up to a 20% share.
QBE
Capacity of up to $300M on primary for Airports
Old Republic
Capacity of $300M primary limits including War and TRIA. on domestic Excess liability limits (above $300 million) for unique risks.
Starr Aviation
Capacity to $750mil 100% Starr Indemnity & Liability admitted paper. Can write quota share for >$750mil limits, typically following lines up to $350mil capacity via Starr Surplus Lines Insurance Company, non-admitted.
Swiss Re
Capacity to $350M on GA risks including airports. On quota share approach, prefer no bigger share than lead. Currently does not deploy more than 150M on any given risk. War risk to 150M but can go to 250M
XL Catlin
Has $750m in capacity on 100% airport business, but it really depends on the individual risk and category of airports as to how much they will deploy

2017 Expectations
Aon Risk Solutions I Global Broking Centre I Aviation
Current Aerospace Market Conditions Capacity: Capacity continues to swell as a result of the low interest rates that have been leading to low returns in other financial markets. Even if there are major claims, capacity is now so great that the “miss factor” should mean that the market avoids hardening.
Airport: The cost of insurance in the airport sector continues to fall, down 8% in 2015 and 10% in 2016 thus far. This continues an uninterrupted trend that has been in place for nearly a decade.
Manufacturer: As safety training, technology, loss and risk analysis all improve, the reductions in the price of insurance in the manufacturing sector have begun to accelerate. There was a 4% reduction in premium in 2015 and there is a 9% reduction so far in 2016. It will always be the most expensive sector in the aerospace industry as a result of its risk profile.
Service Provider: The long-term soft conditions mean that total annual premium in the service provider sector is now around a quarter of the size it represented a decade ago. Prices fell by 18% in 2015 and 13% so far in 2016.
Aon Risk Solutions I Global Broking Centre I Aviation
Outlook 2017 Remaining soft - with a raft of capacity available and a lack of major losses it is hard to envisage a noticeable shift in market conditions in 2017. The overall market income is less than half the average insured limit for the 226 recorded renewals, so there is significant potential that a major loss could have a pronounced effect on underwriter profitability. If there is a major loss in the airline sector that can be translated into a claim against an aerospace organisation, the level of claim is likely to be exceptionally high, not simply because of the high value of the equipment potentially involved, but also the potential liability claims associated. As a result, while it may seem as though there is a significant gap between premium and claims, if there is a major loss, the gap could be swiftly closed. With the amount of capacity currently running at levels where all but the very largest aerospace risks could be comfortably placed in the markets more than twice over, there is a strong potential that if there is a catastrophic loss, many markets will emerge unscathed simply because they were not involved in the risk programme. This could create a two-tier market, with underwriters that have suffered a loss attempting to harden the market while those that avoided it continuing to hold prices down. In such a situation price rises are unlikely to be sustained for long.
