NAICS 488119 · United States · 2022 edition
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) operating international, national, or civil airports, or public flying fields or (2) supporting airport operations, such as rental of hangar space, and providing baggage handling and/or cargo handling services.
Start the review with hangarkeepers liability.
For Other Airport Operations, the saved research highlights hangarkeepers liability, aviation premises liability, baggage and cargo liability. Confirm how these arise in the actual operation, what controls are used and whether additional services change the proposed coverage.
Questions to ask
- What specific services are performed — hangar rental, baggage handling, cargo handling, or a combination?
- Does the operation involve any fueling, aircraft towing, or marshaling services?
- What types and approximate values of aircraft are typically stored in the hangar?
- Is the operation at a general aviation airport, regional airport, or major commercial airport?
- Are there long-term contracts with airlines or commercial operators that include indemnification requirements?
- What is the prior loss history, particularly for any aviation-related or cargo claims?
- For Other Airport Operations, what should the underwriter know about direct fueling operations or fuel storage on premises?
- For Other Airport Operations, what should the underwriter know about aircraft towing, marshaling, or pushback services that increase direct aircraft contact exposure?

Day-to-day activity typically involves access to ramp areas, aircraft proximity, and coordination with both general aviation and commercial flight activity.
