With the world increasingly turning into a battlefield for the ceaseless struggle between man and nature, or between terrorists and innocent civilians, the aspect of insurance is gaining more and more importance. The insurance industry is more and more engaged to cover all kinds of potential risks and losses, including destruction caused by Tsunami or that caused by 9/11 terrorist attacks. The occurrence of events of the latter kind, for instance, has increased the relevance of insurance in the aviation industry more than ever before. There are a number of aircraft insurance companies active today all around the world and some of the notable ones can be mentioned here.
