Aircraft seizures relating to narcotics and other safety and security operations will continue to generate high profile claims worldwide. These disputes will intensify the conflict between hull and war cover, particularly over exclusions for confiscation, theft, and unlawful interference. While Mexico will remain one of the focal points, similar cases are expected in the United States, and other jurisdictions in Latin America, Africa and Asia. International reinsurers will increasingly rely on local courts, whose rulings will play a pivotal role shaping global aviation insurance outcomes.
