Competition is always good for the consumer. In the case of workers’ compensation insurance for aerial application operations, after one insurance underwriter announced it would no longer carry such workers’ comp insurance earlier this year, it would have left just a single underwriter available to provide the needed insurance to the industry. Thankfully, under the leadership of Frank Kimmel of Kimmel Aviation Insurance Agency, a number of ag aircraft insurance underwriters and brokers successfully sought a second ag aviation industry workers’ compensation underwriter in Beacon Aviation Insurance Services Inc. As stated on its website, Beacon now provides coverage for ag aviation workers’ compensation, in addition to a full range of other types of insurance for general aviation businesses.
