Allianz aviation insurance - to infinity and beyond!

"With all the knowledge and skill acquired in thousands of flights in the last ten years, I would hardly think today of making my first flight on a strange machine in a twenty-seven mile wind, even if I knew that the machine had already been flown and was safe." Orville Wright

Just 11 years after brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright (shown in the picure) took flight in 1903, a budding industry took its first commercial flight. And as pilots pushed the limits of the possible, Allianz became a pioneer in aviation insurance.

Today, a century later, Allianz is one of the three largest insurers of a global industry that generates 2.4 trillion USD a year and provides employment to 58 million people worldwide. The latest edition of Global Risk Dialogue takes a look at its aeronautic beginnings, its astronautic aspirations and maritime ambitions.
