While not an everyday practice for many municipalities in Alberta, there are times when it is necessary for individuals connected with municipalities to travel a great distance in a short period of time. On these occasions, it is becoming more common for municipalities to arrange for the private charter of an aircraft and pilot/crew.
When such charters are arranged, the flights made are conducted for and on behalf of the municipality. The contracted arrangement creates a potential liability scenario in the name of the municipality (even for pilot/crew error or faulty aircraft and equipment) which needs to be addressed.
The non-owned aircraft liability policy provides indemnity for sums the insured is legally obligated pay as damages resulting from bodily injury and property damage injury claims brought by third parties (including passengers and their baggage) arising out of the maintenance or use of a non-owned aircraft.
