Airside is a technical term which indicates an area of an airport where access is restricted. These specific areas would be: taxiways, aprons and runways. They also include the restricted zones past the security gates in the terminal buildings.

If your work takes you airside, airports may require specific liability cover for third-party injury or property damage. Standard public liability policies usually exclude airports and aerodromes as high-risk locations.

Some insurers will extend liability for airside work for an additional premium, but limits of indemnity are often capped, commonly around £5 million. Airside work typically needs higher limits; separate airside liability cover (as a top-up or standalone) is often required, and limits of indemnity frequently exceed £50 million.

Many airports make independent airside liability cover a condition of access, and required limits can be higher still. Without the right cover you may be refused airside access, and you would also be exposed if a claim arises. See airside vs public liability insurance for a fuller comparison, or what is airside liability insurance?.

The landside area is accessible to the general public, including those not travelling. It includes check-in and ticketing desks and is not considered a "secure" area in the same sense as the airside area.

Put simply, an indemnity limit is the maximum amount that an insurer will pay out for any one claim and usually within any one policy year (assuming a yearly insurance policy).

Airside Insurance 4u is a team of aviation insurance specialists. We arrange schemes that fill cover gaps that ordinary public liability or motor policies typically leave out for airside work, tailored to your operations.

We provide third-party liability solutions for contractors and concessionaires, and for individuals working airside, for example office staff, window cleaners, catering agents, surveyors and others providing services in the airport environment.

Cover is primarily for UK airports and UK-based facilities and operators. We can also arrange cover for parties not domiciled or registered in the UK, subject to policy terms. USA/Canada risks are not standard. Contact us if you need a bespoke arrangement.

Our standard minimum limit of indemnity is £1 million, with higher limits available up to £250 million. A £1,250 excess typically applies to third-party motor vehicle property damage. Policy periods can be short-term (including 24-hour) or annual.

Choosing an adequate limit of indemnity is your responsibility. Insurers will not usually tell you the exact amount you need. Our advisors can talk through options. Airport contracts and professional bodies often set a minimum limit of indemnity.

If you need any additional insurance cover, or want to discuss unusual features that need to be considered, one of our advisors will be happy to help. Please call us on 01773 810072 to discuss any specific insurance requirements, or request a callback.
