Aviation insurer Global Aerospace has added FlightSafety International (FSI) and GE Digital as partners to its SM4 Aviation Safety Program. FSI will leverage GE Digital’s corporate flight operations quality assurance (C-FOQA) data to help Global Aerospace business aviation policyholders “capitalize on aggregated industry insights gained from data sharing, enabling them to develop valuable scenario-based training,” the insurer said.
According to FSI executive v-p of operations and safety Richard Meikle, “Global’s elite flight departments have made a substantial commitment and investment in safety, their focus on data-driven risk reduction enhances safety for the entire industry. The primary mission of FlightSafety is to reduce risk and our investment in a data-driven approach is demonstrated in partnerships with both GE Digital and Global Aerospace.”
Dana DiPietro, the v-p of underwriting manager at Global Aerospace who co-manages the SM4 program, added that this initiative “aligns perfectly with a core principle of the SM4 program: loss prevention. We look forward to working together with FSI and GE Digital to enhance the industry’s utilization of data to avoid potential risks and tailor training programs to reduce safety events.”
