Aviation insurance is insurance coverage geared specifically to the operation of aircraft and the risks involved in aviation. Aviation insurance policies are distinctly different from those for other areas of transportation and tend to incorporate aviation terminology, as well as terminology, limits and clauses specific to aviation insurance. ==History== Aviation Insurance was first introduced in the early years of the 20th century. The first-ever aviation insurance policy was written by Lloyd's of London in 1911. The company stopped writing aviation policies in 1912 after bad weather at an air meet caused crashes, and ultimately losses, on those first policies.〔Wells, A. T. and Chadbourne, B. D. ''Introduction to Aviation Insurance and Risk Management'' (3rd). pp4. (2007).〕 The first aviation polices were underwritten by the marine insurance underwriting community. The first specialist aviation insurers emerged in 1924.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Global Aerospace )〕 In 1929 the Warsaw convention was signed. The convention was an agreement to establish terms, conditions and limitations of liability for carriage by air, this was the first recognition of the airline industry as we know it today. Realising that there should be a specialist industry sector, the International Union of Marine Insurance (IUMI) first set up an aviation committee and later in 1933 created the International Union of Aviation Insurers (IUAI), made up of eight European aviation insurance companies and pools.〔 The London insurance market is still the largest single centre for aviation insurance. The market is made up of the traditional Lloyd's of London syndicates and numerous other traditional insurance markets. Throughout the rest of the world there are national markets established in various countries, each dependent on the aviation activity within each country. The United States has a large percentage of the world's general aviation fleet and has a large established market. According to the 2014 report from GAMA (General Aviation Manufacturers Association), there are 362,000 general aviation aircraft worldwide, and 199,000 (or roughly 55%) are based in the United States.〔(2014 General Aviation Statistical Databook & 2015 Industry Outlook ), General Aviation Manufacturers Association, Page 2〕 No single insurer has the resources to retain a risk the size of a major airline, or even a substantial proportion of such a risk. The catastrophic nature of aviation insurance can be measured in the number of losses that have cost insurers hundreds of millions of dollars (Aviation accidents and incidents). Most airlines arrange "fleet policies" to cover all aircraft they own or operate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Airline Insurance Market Indicators 2010/11 report by Aon Risk Solutions )〕 Insurance fraud were the motives for suicidal passengers to crash Pacific Air Lines Flight 773, Continental Airlines Flight 11 and National Airlines Flight 2511. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aviation insurance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
