Sedgwick, a provider of claims management, loss adjusting, and technology-enabled solutions, has rolled out new aviation adjusting and surveying services.
The services are available from Sedgwick’s hubs in the Americas, Asia Pacific (APAC), Europe, the Middle East, and the UK. They aim to enhance the company’s long-standing offerings in workers’ compensation, liability, and property claims, specifically for the aviation industry.
The expanded services include surveying aircraft hulls, machinery, and engines, as well as managing liability losses for stakeholders such as manufacturers, airports, pilots, ground staff, and operations.
The global aviation team, led by managing director Robert McParlin and deputy managing director Ryan Smith, brings in-depth expertise to managing aviation claims.
Sedgwick said the team understands the industry’s complex challenges, including ecological transitions, aircraft construction and maintenance, fleet overhauls, emerging risks, and supply chain disruptions.

Commenting on the new solutions, McParlin underscored the increasing demand for comprehensive claims management in aviation.
“Between the business, leisure, and freight sectors, air travel is finally approaching pre-pandemic levels globally,” he said. “Sedgwick’s offerings are designed to provide the market with broader coverage and increased value while addressing the changing requirements of aviation and insurance companies.”
Smith said the team has overseen high-profile aviation accidents and incidents over the past three decades.
“Our experts have handled many of the world’s highest-profile accidents and incidents over the past three decades, which often involved very complex recoveries and/or hull repairs. Through these assignments, we have worked with all the major manufacturers and specialist repair organizations,” he said.
Tom Simoncic, president of property and international at Sedgwick, emphasized the need for claims processes that align with the evolving aviation industry.
“Sedgwick’s commitment to leveraging technology-enhanced processes serves to create a seamless experience for clients globally, putting care of people and the client at the forefront of our work,” he said.
