AACA members are eligible to receive a percentage of their premium back with the Good Experience Return when they participate in one of two insurance programs available to members of the following organiza-tions:• NATA – National Air Transportation Association• IFBOA – Independent Fixed Base Operators AssociationQBE underwrites the IFBOA Workers Compensation Safety Group Program which recently announced a final Good Experience Return of 27.5% for the program’s inaugural year, 2011!
You are probably familiar with the NATA Workers Compensation Insurance Program which has been around since 1975, but you might not know that it is now underwritten by Allianz Global & Corporate Specialty as of 2016. Both insurance companies are A.M. Best ‘A’ rated or better and world leaders in the insurance industry.
So, be sure to ask your broker for quotes from both Allianz and QBE. If your broker does not have access to either Allianz or QBE, please have them contact Program Administrator, Katy Hodge: [email protected], 720-746-3267.
