• Aon (Aviation): Global risk and insurance brokerage with a substantial aviation specialty group. Comparable overlap on commercial aviation placement and aerospace clients, though serves a much broader portfolio of risks beyond aviation.
• Willis Towers Watson (WTW Aerospace): Major global insurance broker with a dedicated Aerospace practice covering airlines, manufacturers, and airports. Comparable on enterprise aviation accounts, broader in scope and scale than SAAM.
• Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (Aviation): Large aviation insurance carrier and risk solutions provider offering hull, liability, and specialty aviation coverage. Overlaps with SAAM's airline and aerospace company placements but is primarily an underwriter rather than a broker.
