WEST CHICAGO, ILL. – NationAir Aviation Insurance has created a new company division, the Public Entity Group, dedicated to meeting the needs of government clients.
“Publicly funded aviation programs have a far greater level of complexity than those of private aviation, and have additional budgetary issues as taxpayer funded entities,” said NationAir President Jeffrey Bauer. “With the Public Entity Group, we can focus on their very specific requirements.”
NationAir counts more than 150 publicly funded clients among its customers, including airports, law enforcement agencies, mosquito abatement districts, municipalities, and county and state governments. The Public Entity Group will enable NationAir to build on the expertise accrued by representing government entities since the company’s founding in 1978.
The Public Entity Group will be led by NationAir Senior Vice President Tom Kaiser, who brings more than 30 years of aviation and insurance experience to the new division. He has represented public entities throughout his 22 years with NationAir. The division also will benefit from NationAir’s participation in key industry groups, including the American Mosquito Control Association, Airborne Law Enforcement Association, Association of Air Medical Services, and American Association of Airport Executives.
Clients in the Public Entity Group will have priority access to NationAir’s value-added services, including NationAir’s dedicated in-house claims and safety advisor, plus complimentary contract review and certificate management service. Public entity clients will benefit from preferred rates with NationAir’s partners who cover a wide range of issues, including emergency response planning; legal counsel; SMS/IS-BAO consulting and certification for fixed and rotor wing aircraft; and crisis communications consulting.
NationAir was founded in 1978, and is one of the country’s oldest and largest aviation insurance brokers. The company is headquartered in suburban Chicago, and has representatives in nine locations across the country, and clients in all 50 states and in 30 countries (www.nationair.com).
