Does the VPP carry insurance for all Missions?
Hope air continually reviews its insurance coverage in respect of its operations. Every pilot, when flying a Hope Air Mission has, in addition to their own insurance, additional coverage of $300,000 for every seat on a Hope Air Flight (live – or dead-heading), and an additional $1 million for public liability. Due to the need to fully delineate our flight insurance parameters, Hope Air has found it necessary to limit the number of seats onboard any aircraft flying VPP Missions to a maximum number of six (6) (including flight crew positions) and to limit its volunteer “fleet” to only include aircraft that have a Maximum Certified Take-off weight of 7,500 lbs or less. If you operate an aircraft with more than six seats, or a MCTOW greater than 7,500 lbs, please contact us to discuss. We’re happy to address each situation which does not fall under our current coverage and this will be done on an individual basis.
