SkyWatch.AI and Starr launch drone insurance product in Canada
SkyWatch.AI, an on-demand, telematics-based insurance platform for commercial drone pilots, has launched its drone insurance product in Ontario, Canada. SkyWatch.AI’s dedicated drone insurance allows professional drone pilots to easily set and manage their coverage through their mobile or desktop devices. The policies are underwritten by a member of Starr Insurance Companies.
Through Skywatch.AI, commercial and recreational drone (RPAS) pilots rapidly receive flexible liability insurance by the hour, month or year. The telemetry-based risk analysis platform provides a risk map to help pilots plan their flights, get real-time quotes, proactively avoid potential hazards and analyse their performance.
SkyWatch.AI will allow eligible drone pilots to reduce their insurance premiums as they fly safely over time.
“The drone industry is rapidly growing and 2020 is set to be a pivotal year for drone pilots on all levels. We want to provide drone pilots innovative technology and insurance with extremely flexible coverage plans.” said Tomer Kashi, CEO and co-founder of SkyWatch.AI. “We’re excited to have SkyWatch.AI expand into Canada, and after our initial run in the province of Ontario, we plan to expand to more regions and provide more Canadian drone pilots with our advanced insurance solutions.”
Paul O’Ryan, Canadian territory manager, general aviation at Starr. “After setting a new standard for drone insurance in the United States in terms of coverage, flexibility, automation and ease of use, we are proud to expand our relationship with SkyWatch.AI to Canada. The need for usage based insurance is rapidly growing, and we look forward to meeting the demands of professional drone operators in Canada as well.”
