SkyWatch launches insurance for senior pilots
After talking to the AOPA, SkyWatch crafted solutions to allow experienced aviators to continue flying while adhering to insurance requirements. This policy offers flexible coverage and instant quotes.

SkyWatch is thrilled to unveil a new liability-only insurance option tailored specifically for senior pilots. Recognising the challenges faced by pilots aged 70 and older in obtaining affordable, comprehensive insurance, this new offering allows them to continue flying with the necessary liability coverage.

This product was developed in response to in-depth conversations between SkyWatch and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) regarding the unique challenges faced by senior pilots. Together, they identified the importance of providing insurance solutions that allow experienced aviators to continue their passion while adhering to necessary insurance requirements.

Available through SkyWatch's user-friendly online platform, the policy provides flexible coverage options and instant quotes, ensuring that senior pilots can maintain their passion for flying without financial burden.

“We are committed to supporting pilots at every stage of their flying journey,” says Tomer Kashi, CEO of SkyWatch. “This new plan reflects our dedication to the entire aviation community.”

Mark Baker, president and CEO of AOPA, adds: “This offering is a game-changer for our senior members. We're pleased to see SkyWatch addressing a critical need in the market, allowing our seasoned pilots to stay in the skies safely and affordably.”
