Whether relating to complex aircraft, equipment or liability, airport infrastructure, baggage incidents, aircraft surveys, asset management, appraisal or remarketing, we have the right capabilities to assess and manage your claims and technical projects efficiently for you.

 

Aviation has always been of strategic importance for Charles Taylor and our commitment to the industry has never been stronger. Based in strategic locations around the world, our team can respond quickly and effectively whenever you need us most.

The philosophy underpinning Charles Taylor’s success is our ability to communicate with all stakeholders at all levels and to form effective and lasting working relationships built on trust and the highest professional and technical standards.

The accurate settlement of an insurance claim is dependent upon the collaboration of all stakeholders. This is why we ensure a clear and constant flow of unambiguous information to effectively mitigate the loss and identifying all policy coverage issues at an early stage.

Our goal is to ensure that all parties are kept up to date with developments in a timely manner so that every claim we are entrusted with can be fast-tracked to an amicable conclusion.
