Within the aviation business there are a number of diverse risks encompassing those that are relevant to the operator of passenger aircraft, cargo transport, private hire, airside contractors, traffic control and airport operators amongst others. Values at risk and potential liabilities are significant, so as a consequence the insurance covers put in place must reflect that potential for loss and ensure that claims are dealt with in a fair and equitable manner.

There are many and wide-ranging complexities in the banking and financial world and insurance is often utilised as a mechanism to mitigate the risks that result and the possible consequent losses. Each case is considered and negotiated on an individual basis as no two risks are the same. Much depends on the nature and scope of the business and the risk management practices of our clients.
Business Interruption
List of services
- Loss of Gross Profits and Revenue
- Additional Cost of Working
- Suppliers Extension
- Customers Extension
- Denial of Access
- Delay Fines and Penalties
Business Interruption and loss of profits following property or other damage can often be more expensive than the cause of the interruption. Putting a business back into a pre-loss position can take time especially if there are lead times for the replacement of key machinery and the problem of recovering market share. Incidents occurring elsewhere can also lead to a loss of business, for example a key supplier or key customer. Many businesses who suffer a serious property loss can go out of business altogether through lack of adequate insurance to maintain cash flow.
ICA has considerable experience in this field and can give a great deal of assistance in analysing and mitigating the risk factors to a business and help create a business continuity plan. Facilities up to USD$100 million or more when required.

Political & Terrorism
POLITICAL VIOLENCE AND TERRORISM AND WAR
A standard Political Violence (PV) insurance policy can indemnify: Physical losses or Damages; Business Income Losses and Extra Expenses; Debris Removal and Third Party Liability (optional)
Cover is now essentially available in four forms:
- Terrorism only: This relates to loss or damage instigated as a result of clear and targeted political, religious or ideological grievances often perpetrated by established and internationally recognised terrorism organisations and therefore excludes losses sustained in the course of public demonstrations and general unrest where the insured is not specifically targeted
- Terrorism and strikes, riots and civil commotion: This covers terrorism as detailed above and losses sustained as a result of civil unrest. This also covers damage as a result of disgruntled workers and employees
- Political violence excluding war and civil war: The third option extends to cover terrorism, strikes, riots and civil commotion plus physical damage incurred during a process of mass social uprising, revolt or military coup. It is a more robust political violence policy that is now increasingly in demand following the events of the last 18 months
- Comprehensive political violence: The final option provides all of the previous covers as well as cover against war, both civil (that is, open conflict between two opposing sides within the same nation or state) and war itself (which would necessitate cross-border conflict, either declared or on an undeclared basis). The fourth option is the most comprehensive political violence physical damage policy. It removes any ambiguity between perils and, most tellingly, when purchased alongside a standard fire policy, provides a more seamless physical damage coverage.
PORTFOLIO

- Global war, terrorism and political violence cover for non-marine assets, including standard commercial property, fixed and mobile energy assets, leisure and entertainment and civil or governmental property.

* Higher policy limits are available subject to requirements and review
There is an increasing number of motor vehicles within Afghanistan, many of which are of high value and at risk from collision, malicious damage and third party and passenger liability.
Key to the insurance for Vehicle Fleets is the ability to deal with damage claims speedily and effectively. ICA has established a claims procedure with authorised repairers that ensures vehicles are repaired as quickly as possible and put back on the road. Down time on the use of a vehicle can be a costly situation.
For Third Party claims ICA will take over the negotiation and management of the process thereby removing management downtime in unproductive activities.
