This report presents the results of ACRP Project 11-03 S01-03 and is intended to identify the variables that affect insurance purchasing for airport operators and to identify the range of practices that exist among U.S. airports. Once identified, the practices can be synthe-sized into a set of basic principles to be considered and applied as appropriate by airport officials confronted with risk-financing and insurance-purchasing decisions. A survey was developed to identify current insurance-buying practices and the charac-teristics of airports that use them. Twenty-one prequalified airport operator systems were selected to participate in the survey. Airports were prequalified by a preliminary survey of a larger population to determine those willing to participate. Nineteen prequalified airport operator systems, representing 42 airports, replied to the survey request. This was a 90% response rate. n addition, eight airport operator systems participated in detailed interviews about their insurance-purchasing practices. These eight systems represented 20 airports. |
