Skyward Specialty launches new Aviation underwriting unit

Property and casualty insurer Skyward Specialty has entered the specialised aviation market with the launch of a new Aviation underwriting unit following the acquisition of Acceleration Aviation Underwriters assets last year.

Chris Jones, founder of Acceleration Aviation Underwriters, commented: “For the Acceleration team, this is the culmination of our decades long career, and I am very proud to join Skyward Specialty to see our legacy continue.

“With Skyward Specialty’s growth-driven strategy and our deep underwriting knowledge, we have the backing and scale to realize the full potential of our business. I am very excited to be part of this next phase in Acceleration’s future and establish Skyward Specialty’s place in the aviation market.”

With the acquisition, Skyward Specialty gains an experienced aviation underwriting team with a strong history of success in niche, underserved segments.

Their expertise aligns well with Skyward Specialty’s focus on addressing complex and challenging risks.

“Over the past couple of years, we have built a terrific relationship with the Acceleration team including as a program manager writing on behalf of Skyward Specialty. They’ve carved out a smart, sustainable niche, particularly in smaller, overlooked risks within the aviation market and we find this is fits well within our strategy,” said Andrew Robinson, Chairman & CEO of Skyward Specialty.

Robinson continued: “By combining their deep expertise with our advanced analytics and tech-enabled underwriting capabilities, we are well positioned to scale this business and strengthen our position in the aviation market. This integration further reflects our commitment to our strategy to invest in specialty markets where insights, precision and innovation drive lasting value.”
