We are electricians and have been working at a local airport for the past 4 years. We have just renewed our insurances and (shock horror!) our Ins. Co. have now told us that our public liability insurance does not cover us for working at airports - apparently once you enter the perimeter fence you are classed as airside and thereby not covered by insurance. The only thing they could offer is that if we are asked to do a job at the airport we would have to ring them first and then they would consider if they could insure us on a job by job basis. As we do quite a bit of work there, including breakdown work and lots of urgent small jobs this would be totally impractical!
Has anyone else heard of this and know of any insurance companies who would cover us for airports? We can't be the only company around who does work at airports, someone must know how to get round this problem.
