Who writes aircraft and aviation in Delaware
Top insurer groups from the NAIC market share report; the state's list carries no lines of authority.
Starr Group wrote the most aircraft and aviation in Delaware in 2025, $3.6M and 14.7% of the state's premium; the top five groups hold 52%. Delaware's company list doesn't say which lines each company is licensed for, so the ranking below is the NAIC's top 10 groups; every licensed company is on the Delaware page.

Someone will insure it. I find who.
Send what you need covered and what happened before. I match it to the companies that take it, down to the last-resort plan if it comes to that. I'm licensed in 48 states and Washington, DC and your request stays with my agency, not passed to another agent. In Florida and Washington, where my licenses are still being issued, a partner agency in your state helps in the meantime.
