Aircraft insurance is a necessary part of aircraft ownership. However, the rates, coverage, and terms vary widely from aircraft to aircraft. To ensure your aircraft has an appropriate policy in place, Stratos Jet Charters has partnered with an experienced insurance broker that can help you determine exactly which coverage is right for you.
What is Aircraft Hull and Liability Coverage?
The most basic level of an aircraft hull and liability insurance policy will protect your aircraft against damage and loss. The policy includes:
- Physical damage
- Medical coverage of passengers, crew, and pilots
- All items onboard the aircraft, including passengers, baggage, and cargo
- Aircraft third party liability, which includes damage to individuals or property caused by the aircraft
Selecting the Right Coverage
Depending on your aircraft needs, there may be one or several additional options that appeal to you. It’s important to consider the entire scope of the aircraft use. If you’re travelling out of the country often or tend to transport a sickly family member on occasion, there are options that you’ll want to consider. Some of these additional options include:
- Geographic destinations/limits
- Life insurance
- Personal belongings and baggage coverage
- Premises medical coverage
- Trip interruption expense coverage
- Spare engines and aircraft parts coverage
- Emergency expense reimbursement
- War risks coverage
When you first sit down to chat with an aircraft insurance agent, you’ll be asked several questions. They’ll need to know the make and model of your aircraft, how you plan to use it, information about the pilot, and more. These questions help shape the policy you’ll require. They may also lead to discounted premiums for your aircraft hull and liability insurance policy, if your aircraft and crew meet some of the eligibility requirements.

Everything went off smoothly and everyone I worked with at Stratos was very patient and helpful. Our small group felt very special! What a treat and yes I’d recommend Stratos to anyone.

Everything was great with the trip; it was a bit rushed on my part and Danny was a rockstar! He gave me many options and honest and frank feedback and advice. He made me feel like I was the only client he had and was incredibly responsive to all my questions and concerns. Stress-free and relaxing is the best way to summarize my experience. I will always use Stratos and Danny!! thank you to all the team as well!

Since day one, Joel and his team have been providing us with great customer service and always meet or exceed our needs. They are impeccable in their constant communication, which includes everything from quotes to flight status, and all in between. They are very accommodating to all requests, even the last minute ones. Sarah with trip support has carefully and flawlessly helped with all requested travel arrangements, from car rental to car service. It is hard to find a company these days that is genuine and understands the importance of truly great customer service, and this company and all members of the team, have this! It is very refreshing. I would recommend this company to anyone who has ever thought about trying Jet Charters or has done so for years, it will be a change for the best!

Timely, efficient customer service, perfectly executed departure and arrival, concierge service no hassle and easy
Jim H.
Smooth and easy

We were thoroughly impressed with all aspects of these operations. If at all possible, a method to protect the identity of passengers might be developed (whereby TSA rules are still met). If such a method already exists, my clients would appreciate knowing the details.

Eastern Air Services (crew and plane) were wonderful. Stratos micro obsession with baggage and weights was beyond logical and anything that I had ever experienced in prior charters. Turned out there was PLENTY of room in cargo for additional baggage and that my guests were no where near any weight limitation. The only reason I tolerated the craziness was the price differential. Next time, if they are not the best price I am going back to my regular charter companies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Working with Kerry Hill and Joel A. Thomas from Stratos is always a pleasure for us at Regency. There is clear communication from start to finish. Client expectations are laid out, so that we can work our best to execute them. They communicate with us in a timely manner, and of course expect the same from us. Their clients are respectful of our jets and our crews. We definitely enjoy partnering and are looking forward to many more come 2023!

Glenn was great - very responsive. Would have given our experience 5 stars had the airport we intended to land (Ocean Reef) been secured when I paid the monies, instead of 3 days before our scheduled departure from HPN.
Rich L.
Everyone involved was courteous and helpful in getting a last minute emergency trip arranged. However, the premise for using your services was to be GUARANTEED ARRIVAL by a SPECIFIC TIME. Neither the departure nor arrival was anywhere close to what was promised. Hence, our reasons for hiring Stratos to take us became unnecessary and a wasted expense
Cathy L.
Would definitely recommend Statos Jets. Always know Kerry Hill is doing her best for us.
Desiree B.
Zach, was phenomenal from beginning to end! What was taking me a half-day to do Zach was able to complete efficiently in a few hours. He periodically made the process as smooth as possible, not to mention giving hourly updates. I would say that Stratos has a customer for life. Zach enjoys and loves what he does and it shows in his work ethic! Thank you!
Jim S.
All was good.

Joel and the team at Stratos Jet Charters were great. Even on short notice, Joel was able to charter a plane for me in California and made sure that it was a smooth process the whole trip. He was readily available when I had several last minute changes to the itinerary. Highly recommend.
Kevin D.
Great service. Responsive and thorough.
Tyler Grady
I work on the operator side of this business. Joel and his team (Christina, Simon, Kerry, and more) are all incredibly wonderful to work with. They are always responsive in a timely manner and deliver accurate information consistently. They bring a very positive attitude and outlook to this industry. Hopeful to book many more trips with them in the future.

Nothing, Heather is amazing as always and the reason I will continue to fly with you.
Lashonda R.
Steve made sure we had everything we needed. The travel arrangements were made easily and were efficient. 3 friends and myself had our first experience with flying private with Stratos. The food provided was delicious, the limo and transportation was perfect, and the entire experience was well worth the money. A special thank you to Pilot Dan! He was very helpful and made sure we were comfortable. Definitely a memorable experience. Stratos is my go to place when flying private from this point forward.
Nancy D.
The flight was extremely, even surprisingly, comfortable. The crew was fantastic--professional and courteous. The agent's support was extremely thorough and professional: explanations, details and assistance with car rental was much appreciated. We will highly recommend these services to others.
Craig O.
We are very happy with Stratos and will contact again when we return to our summer home next May. The fuel stop in Charleston was not scheduled but we understand that depends on the winds. Burlington Vermont to Fort Myers Florida is near the range list of a 400XP
Mathieu C.
Kyle from Stratos Jet was great to deal with... quick responses....great service....great prices....A+ experience
Jaime C.
Kyle was very nice and helpful, he made sure everything was in order and ready to go from beginning to end, really great costumer service. Aircraft was nice, well kept LearJet 40. Pilots Matthew and Jonathan were total sweethearts and very experienced, landing was beyond smooth. Only thing we weren’t so happy about was the fact that you could see some of the wear and tear of the years on the inside of the plane. Overall great experience!
Larry B.
This was a fantastic trip and our family will remember the rest of their life. Wife says it is the only way to travel via air. Everything was handled perfect
Michael A.
We had a great experience, Anthony our contact was in close contact before the flight keeping us updated and the service was excellent on both sides.
Sybil D.
Glenn, who assisted every step of the way was professional and kind as he answered the many questions I had as this was our first experience traveling in this way. The communication was clear and any expectations we had were exceeded. The pilot was very personable and made the experience enjoyable from the time we arrived at the FBO until we landed. Thank you.
Britt Morque
Daniel is knowledgeable, responsive and professional. Great job!

Stratos Jets has always been a great company to work with, very friendly staff.
Susan R. C.
Joel is always responsive and helpful when it comes to planning our trips. We love working with him and his team. Our flight was perfect, great crew, nice clean equipment and we took off and landed on time. Can’t speak highly enough about Stratos. They take the stress out of travel!
Steve B.
I have been using Stratos for all of my trips the past 2 years, and they stay on top of all my needs. Thanks to the entire team!
