Corporate Aviation Security International (CASI) joins USAIG’s Performance Vector Program

New York, NY (August 27, 2024)…USAIG, one of the world’s leading aviation-specific insurance providers, has added security training, site assessments and trip support by CASI to its portfolio of safety-enhancing services available to eligible policyholders through its Performance Vector program.  Performance Vector is available to most USAIG policyholders that insure a turbine-powered aircraft or place multiple policies with USAIG.*  Each eligible policy can select one program option annually as a policy benefit to enhance organizational loss control and safety efforts.

Security should be a top priority for business aviation departments in a world where global threats shift and evolve hourly. Threats range from property theft and senseless destruction to kidnapping, violence, attempted hijackings, or worse; and can emanate from common street thugs, cartels and other organized crime, terror and activist groups, even from inside one’s own organization. Increasing awareness and training, confirming effective physical security measures are in place at operating bases, and having access to supplemental planning and resources for trips to security-sensitive locales are prudent steps sophisticated organizations take to counter threats. Performance Vector-eligible policyholders can now apply their annual benefit toward CASI services that address those specific aims.

CASI’s offers through the Performance Vector program include a 1-day staff security training program delivered at the operator’s location; on-site security assessment of U.S. hangar, airfield, and company operating bases with a report of findings and recommendations; and trip support for security-sensitive destinations with advisors on the ground ahead of and during an aircraft’s stay. A Performance Vector benefit applied toward any of these CASI services provides a $2500 subsidy, materially reducing out-of-pocket cost for the policyholder.   

“Safe flights depend on staying ahead of the situation and leaving as little as possible to chance. It’s important to make sure the necessary focus on aviation-specific factors doesn’t leave a blind spot when it comes to security,” says USAIG President and CEO John Brogan. “I’m delighted to now have a world-class security expert in our Performance Vector portfolio to help policyholders elevate their security posture to better protect their people and assets.” 

“We are excited that our team’s decades of collective operational experience earn USAIG’s trust,” says CASI President and founder Daniel Foust. “We look forward to providing bespoke services to policyholders, merging our unique capabilities with their operations to help protect people, equipment, and reputations at home bases and wherever their trips take them.”

USAIG continually upgrades its popular Performance Vector suite of safety programs to keep pace with changes and improvements in aviation safety protocols. For additional information about the program, please visit the “Safety” tab at www.usaig.com or email [email protected].
