What ATLANTAS does

Atlantas (legal entity SARL Atlantas) is an independent insurance brokerage firm founded in 1994 and headquartered at 9 boulevard Guist'Hau, Nantes, France. The firm specializes exclusively in aviation risk coverage, serving private aircraft owners, jet owners and operators, professional drone operators, helicopter owners, hot air balloon operators, parachutists and skydiving schools, aero clubs, and individual pilots. Its core product portfolio comprises nine vertical-specific policies (airplane, jet, helicopter, hot air balloon, drone, ULM, aero club, hangar/multi-risk, individual pilot accident, and parachuting), augmented by modular coverages such as civil liability, ordinary risk body coverage, war risk, legal protection, and individual accident protection.

The business model is a pure independent broker model: Atlantas analyzes client needs, compares offerings from privileged European insurance partners (French, English, and Belgian aviation insurance groups), negotiates coverage and pricing, and manages claims on the client's behalf. Revenue derives from brokerage commissions paid by carrier partners on placed policies. Pricing is quote-based and varies by aircraft type, usage pattern (commercial vs. non-commercial), pilot qualifications, geographic scope, and coverage limits; multi-year contract structures are used. The go-to-market is sales-led with a hybrid of phone consultation and online quote request forms organized by aircraft type; a multi-language website (French, English, Spanish) supports both French-domestic and international client acquisition across France, broader Europe, Tunisia, Morocco, and Switzerland.

The firm operates with approximately 10 employees, no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capabilities, no funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no disclosed financial metrics. Distribution is exclusively direct with no intermediaries; the firm maintains a small but active online presence and content marketing footprint (blog and SEO-optimized product pages). Ownership is privately held under founder-operator control with no institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiaries disclosed. Atlantas operates as a low-scale, relationship-intensive specialty broker whose primary competitive assets are regulatory expertise (notably EC Regulation 785/2004), insurer relationships, and 30+ years of accumulated niche underwriting knowledge.
