Client Challenge

Green Technology Risks

Boeing faced the challenge of insuring groundbreaking technologies designed for sustainable air travel. These included electric and hybrid aircraft, which presented novel risks not fully addressed by traditional insurance policies.

Electric and Hybrid Aircraft

Traditional insurance models are often inadequate for covering the complex risks associated with these advanced aircraft, which include untested technology, potential operational failures, and uncertain regulatory landscapes. Additionally, the long-term reliability and maintenance costs of electric and hybrid systems are not yet fully understood, making it difficult to assess risk accurately. Environmental factors, such as battery performance in extreme conditions, and the potential for new types of accidents or malfunctions, add another layer of complexity.
