Managing your risk exposures is critical to the success of your organisation and capitalising on your opportunities.

Marsh can help to identify, quantify and control your risks. We create and implement customised solutions using the most effective blend of risk mitigation, risk transfer and advanced risk financing. These solutions go beyond traditional insurance programs to encompass strategies that can help to increase your revenue growth, enhance your net income and strengthen your balance sheet.

Deregulation and new regulation, aircrew supply and demand, noise footprint management, and international terrorism also present continuing challenges to the aviation industry.

These issues, as well as day to day business challenges present many risks which, if not properly managed, can have profound consequences, for example:

• physical risks to aircraft (fixed wing and rotary)

• personal risks to pilots, crew and passengers

• ground risks such as health & safety, passenger and baggage security screening, property damage to buildings and aircraft, service continuity and environmental protection of airport surrounds

• operating risks include food quality management, aircraft air-worthiness and documentation management, security, navigational aid reliability & calibration, industrial relations, aircrew certification, airport infrastructure reliability, fuel quality management and engineering reliability

• business risks such as liability, securing international landing rights, competition, fluctuations in currency and fuel costs, contract management, compliance and renewal of regulatory consents and dependency on information technology platforms for scheduling, safety verification and reservations

• Globally, Marsh has provided risk solutions to the aviation industry for over 60 years. Clients range from helicopter operators to general aviation companies, industrial aid fleets to defence forces, ground handling agents to refuellers, airport operators to civil aviation regulators, as well as repair, catering and maintenance companies.
