In September 2025, the UK Civil Aviation Authority published the electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) Delivery Model in anticipation of commercial flight operations by the end of 2028. The Delivery Model provides a regulatory framework addressing certification, pilot licensing, vertiport integration, and operational approvals. The pioneering technology of eVTOLS represents a bold step toward a cleaner, smarter future for aviation — one that not only accelerates decarbonisation but redefines how we connect and move across the globe. eVTOL assembly and battery production facilities have been established in the UK to support certification and early production. By positioning itself at the forefront of aerospace innovation, the UK seeks to unlock new possibilities for sustainable travel and economic growth. As we edge towards commercial eVTOL operations, this is dialling up a need for a range of tailored advanced air mobility (AAM) insurance cover to include hull liability, war, passenger, cargo, third party liability, spares, hangar keeper and product liability insurance. In 2026, we will see the London and global aviation insurance market continuing to evolve, to respond to the needs of emerging AAM technology.
