Starr Aviation Agency and Chubb Enter Into Underwriting Agreement

Starr Aviation Agency Inc., a wholly-owned specialty subsidiary of C. V. Starr & Co. Inc., and The Chubb Corporation have entered into an underwriting agreement under which Chubb will provide hull and liability coverages to Starr Aviation’s general aviation clients and workers’ compensation coverage to its general and commercial aviation clients.

Motamed, vice chairman and chief operating officer of The Chubb Corporation, said, “This agreement provides Chubb with growth opportunities in the most attractive segment of the aviation insurance marketplace. We look forward to working with Starr Aviation’s team of highly experienced aviation insurance specialists to deliver Chubb-quality products and services to an array of aviation customers.”
