about aggressive insurance
  

 

Aggressive Insurance launched its aviation product line on September 1, 2009. Located within minutes of some of the busiest air transportation hubs in the U.S., Aggressive has daily seen a need to bring its technical and professional strengths to the world of aircraft insurance.

Aggressive Insurance has business roots back nearly two decades and in recent years has seen tremendous success and growth as a result of its strong, forward looking systems and practices. For the first time, producers can provide truly advanced policy quoting and delivery services to their clients with a wide variety of billing options and other services.

Supported by a well-established and extremely responsive claims group, Aggressive is bound to become a favored market. In addition to rapid service response, Aggressive has set its goals on serving a market segment which many other carriers avoid. We are interested in helping applicants who may have older aircraft or pilots who are transitioning between makes and models.

Aggressive's Aviation Advisory Council
