Cirrus

Travers & Associates has a page on Cirrus SR22 aircraft insurance. It says its aviation insurance specialists can place Cirrus SR22 policies with the major aviation insurance companies, that SR22 insurance cost can be lower than for similar aircraft because of the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System and Cirrus-specific training, and that the agency's volume with the carriers helps it obtain favourable SR22 rates. The page also notes an enhancement announced by London Aviation Underwriters for eligible Cirrus Approach pilots. The agency is a member of the Cirrus Owners and Pilots Association. No premium figures are published on the page.
