Insurance & CAT Response — questions we get asked
How fast can a helicopter be on-site after a hurricane or wildfire?
For declared catastrophe events our desk mobilises within hours. In most 18+ country markets we place the first aircraft — for aerial survey or loss-adjuster deployment — the same day the airspace and fuel supply reopen.
Can you operate into airfields that are closed to fixed-wing traffic?
Yes. Helicopters routinely access damaged airports, unlicensed strips, sports fields, hospital pads and improvised LZs that are unusable for jets or turboprops, which is exactly why insurers use rotorcraft for CAT response.
Do the helicopters carry aerial imagery, thermal or LiDAR equipment?
We source operators with gyro-stabilised RGB, thermal and LiDAR pods for post-event damage capture. Data can be delivered as raw imagery, orthomosaics or annotated adjuster-ready reports depending on your workflow.
Can we deploy loss-adjuster teams and executives on the same aircraft?
Yes — most missions combine adjusters, drone-team operators and insurer/reinsurer executives on a single twin-engine airframe. We size the helicopter to your headcount plus imaging equipment and PPE.
Do you support press, media and board-level fly-overs of damaged assets?
Regularly. We arrange controlled press flights, board-level asset inspections and reinsurer walk-throughs with FAA/EASA-compliant operators and briefing packs tailored to your comms team.
How is pricing structured for CAT-response helicopter charters?
Pricing is per-hour block time plus positioning, with day-rate options for multi-day deployments. Because we're independent — no in-house fleet — you receive multiple independent quotes and select the best fit for the event.
