How hx supports Aviation insurance pricing

Configurable pricing logic for complex rating structures

Aviation's unique challenges require pricing logic that standard raters struggle to express. The hx Decision Engine lets actuaries implement knockout criteria, aircraft-specific calculations, and pilot experience factors in native Python.

Submission triage aligned to appetite

Aviation submissions arrive with documentation that determines both insurability and pricing tier. hx Submission Triage extracts fleet data and pilot information, surfacing it alongside appetite checks.

Portfolio intelligence for aggregation management

Aviation's systemic risk requires portfolio-level visibility. hx Portfolio Intelligence enables batch rating, what-if analysis, and concentration monitoring for geographic and fleet exposures.
