Insurance guidance for new FBOs entering the aviation market.
Star Aviation Services helps new FBOs understand the insurance conversations, documentation, and risk areas that matter before operations begin.
Request FBO Insurance GuidanceStarting an FBO requires more than fuel access and ground support.
New FBOs need to think carefully about liability, aircraft servicing exposure, fuel handling risks, property protection, employee safety, customer contracts, and the insurance requirements that may be expected by airports, suppliers, lenders, or aviation partners.

Coverage conversations for business operations, customer interactions, and third-party claims connected to aviation service activity.

Support understanding insurance concerns related to fuel storage, transfer, delivery, contamination, spills, and operational exposure.
Hangar & Property
Guidance around property, hangar, equipment, office, and facility-related insurance needs for new aviation operations.
Ground Support Equipment
Insurance planning for fuel trucks, carts, service vehicles, rampside equipment, and other FBO operating assets.

We help new FBOs ask the right insurance questions before they commit.
Insurance is often one of the areas new FBOs underestimate. The right questions early can help avoid delays, uncovered exposure, or costly surprises once the business begins operating.
- What insurance may the airport require?
- What coverage may fuel suppliers expect?
- How should fuel handling and contamination risk be discussed?
- What happens if aircraft, property, or equipment is damaged?
- What coverage may be needed before opening operations?
Not just a policy — a risk conversation.
For new FBOs, insurance should be reviewed alongside the actual business model. Fuel sales, aircraft servicing, hangar operations, ground handling, staffing, customer contracts, and airport requirements can all affect the type of coverage that should be discussed.
Star Aviation Services is not here to make insurance confusing. We help new FBOs organize the conversation, understand the key risk areas, and prepare for discussions with insurance providers, aviation partners, and airport stakeholders.
