What happened
Leased aircraft were seized in Russia following events in 2022, involving WTW. Separately, WTW's Q3 Airline Insurance Outlook noted that underwriters are becoming more selective about where they place insurance capacity.
Why it matters
This shift in underwriting sentiment is sharpening the divide between risks in the airline market. Insurers are tightening oversight of flight routes and concentrations at regional hubs, meaning actual insurance deployment depends on an airline's risk profile, not just theoretical market capacity.
