Benefit from insurance discounts as an Aero Club member
The Aero Club of Switzerland creates real added value through discount agreements with insurance companies, from which all members can benefit, regardless of the type of aviation sport they practice. In this way, we are fulfilling the mission of an association to offer individual members direct and tangible financial benefits through membership, in addition to basic aviation services as the national umbrella organization for light aviation, thanks to a large collective (over 23,000 natural persons are currently members of the AeCS).
You too can benefit from the financial advantages. In addition, the insurance companies pay us a commission for every insurance policy taken out with an AeCS member, which we can reinvest in the air sports disciplines and regional and divisional associations on a project-related basis. Depending on your place of residence and canton and your existing insurance policies, these discount offers can provide you with significant premium reductions and better benefits in the areas of health insurance and care, household, motor vehicle and legal protection. So be sure to check your existing insurance policies and compare them with an offer from our group partners. Our independent insurance broker AFS will provide you with the details and procedure for benefiting from AeCS discounts, including contributions to the mandatory aeromedical examinations.
We are convinced that you too can benefit from reduced insurance premiums and improved benefits for the coming years. We wish you a successful and happy flying season and much satisfaction in your aviation activities.
