Workers’ Compensation Program Pays Millions in Dividends

Old Republic Aerospace is pleased to announce its distribution of dividend payments across the 2019, 2020 and 2021 years of the NBAA Workers’ Compensation Insurance Program. Since the program’s inception in 2009, participant policyholders have received more than $9.1 million in dividends.

Working with NBAA for almost 15 years, Old Republic Aerospace provides association members a high-quality, cost-effective solution to aviation workers’ compensation coverage, along with the opportunity to earn a cash dividend.

The NBAA Workers’ Compensation Insurance Program offers members the opportunity to be rewarded for providing employees with a safe work environment and, as a result, reduce the ultimate cost of insurance protection. Old Republic Aerospace has a proven track record, and has been dedicated to the aviation marketplace for the past 40 years.

As a member of the Old Republic Insurance Group, one of the 50 largest shareholder-owned insurance organizations in the U.S., Old Republic Aerospace provides the peace of mind that comes from being insured by a Fortune 500 company rated A+ by A.M. Best that has been committed to excellence for the past 100 years.

NBAA members don’t have to change insurance brokers to take advantage of this exclusive member benefit. Your current insurance provider can easily connect you to the program.

IBAC Crew Card for Business Aircraft Crew Members

The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) Crew Card provides business aircraft flight crews with a convenient, internationally recognized form of identification.

The white, blue and red card was created to ease ramp access and assist in customs identification.

Much like the identity cards issued to commercial crews, the IBAC card provides an additional level of assurance to security officials that the person carrying the card is a bona fide business aircraft crew member.
