Newfront Insurance, a tech-enabled, full-service brokerage based in San Francisco, California, has acquired Aviation Marine Insurance Services (AMIS), a specialist brokerage focused across general aviation from individual owners, managed fleets and charter companies to aviation related business in 35 US states. The acquisition continues the growth momentum Newfront has achieved in the past year and expands its platform to serve aviation clients.

Combining AMIS' expertise with Newfront's advanced technology will bring new levels of safety, transparency and data to aviation risk management and insurance. Newfront has built a similar model combining industry experts with a robust technology platform across 13 industry verticals, from agriculture to construction.

AMIS is led by Scott Gault, a former Olympic athlete and current pilot, who joins Newfront along with his team of aviation insurance experts. “My father founded AMIS 35 years ago, committed to providing a differentiated client experience. Joining Newfront today is an important evolution for our clients and team towards this commitment,” he says.

Newfront CEO Spike Lipkin adds: “We are extremely excited to welcome Scott and AMIS to Newfront. AMIS enhances our client offering and presents a tremendous opportunity to bring a modern experience to aviation risk management and insurance. This acquisition is far beyond a transaction; it is an opportunity to cohere a team united by the vision of being the modern tech-enabled brokerage with a customer-focused culture.”
