Allianz Mattheis Marcus Mattheis

Allianz Mattheis is an aviation insurance agency in Laichingen, Germany. It arranges cover for private pilots, aircraft owner groups, flying clubs, flight schools and aviation companies. The agency says it has worked in aviation for over a decade, and the general agent is an active pilot.

The agency looks at each risk on its own. Cover is priced by aircraft type, use, pilot experience and the type of operation. It handles single-engine and multi-engine piston aircraft, gliders, engines and drones, as well as commercial flying.

Aircraft liability cover protects owners and carriers against injury, property and financial losses, in the air and on the ground. Hull insurance covers damage, loss, natural events, vandalism and theft. Engine insurance adds cover for internal operating damage to an engine or turbine, for example when an oil or coolant hose bursts or a valve breaks.

Accident insurance comes in two forms. Seat accident insurance protects the person in the insured seat. Named person insurance protects one person worldwide, around the clock, whether at leisure, at work or in traffic and whatever aircraft they fly. Professional pilots can take out loss of licence insurance, which pays if a licence is lost for good because of illness or loss of strength.

Drone liability cover is available for private and commercial unmanned aircraft systems. For businesses, the agency builds individual plans for flight schools, maintenance organisations, ground handling firms, fleets of aeroplanes or helicopters and other aviation companies.

An enquiry follows four steps. The customer describes the risk by sending the key facts or by phone. The agency asks follow-up questions. The customer then receives a personal offer with clearly explained terms. After that, the agency handles the paperwork and stays the direct contact, including for claims.

The agency also runs tools for pilots, such as a premium calculator for aircraft, an accident insurance calculator and a VFR airfield finder.
