QBE Forms U.S. General Aviation Underwriting Group

QBE the Americas has announced the creation of a U.S.-based general aviation underwriting operation.

Headquartered in Atlanta, QBE the Americas' Aviation Team is designed to expand the company's global aviation activities. QBE is already a major aviation insurance writer in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the Pacific.

The new team of aviation insurance professionals consists of William McGloin, Roger Ridings, Michael Clark and Russell Walker.

"The U.S. is the largest market for general aviation in the world," says QBE's CEO for the Americas, John Rumpler. "We're pleased to start this operation that will offer a broad range of coverage and bring our company full circle as a true worldwide provider for general aviation insurance services.  The aviation team that has been created will work in collaboration with QBE Aviation European Operations."

General aviation insurance includes all types of aircraft except for military and major airlines. QBE the Americas' Aviation Team of seasoned aviation professionals will work with personal-use aircraft owners, as well as corporations and airports to provide physical damage, liability and workers' compensation coverage.

QBE Insurance Group Limited is headquartered in Sydney, Australia.
