The Mega-Mergers Reshaping Aviation Insurance
Within the last couple of years, there have been two blockbuster - what I call mega-mergers - in the aviation insurance brokerage industry. Gallagher acquired Assured Partners, and Acrisure Aerospace was formed via the merger of Falcon Insurance and several other smaller aviation brokerage houses here in the USA. What does this mean to the consumer? Generally speaking, it should be business as usual for most policyholders working with either of those two noted firms - but now with brokerage services under the umbrella of the parent companies (Gallagher and Acrisure). As with any merger, it takes time for each company's systems and personnel to efficiently integrate into one. I would think a policy holder could reasonably expect a hiccup or two along the way as staffing and “insync” communications are rolled out between the two merging companies.
