Insurwave & Osprey unite to transform aviation risk insights

London-based insurtech firm Insurwave has announced a strategic partnership with aviation risk management specialist Osprey Flight Solutions, where they aim to deliver both integrated and actionable risk insights to the aviation insurance sector.

The collaboration, announced on 2 May, will incorporate Osprey's aviation risk data into Insurwave's platform, offering insurance professionals—from underwriters to brokers and risk managers—a unified view of aviation security risks, exposure data, and advanced visualisation tools.

"In today's dynamic aviation landscape, staying ahead of risks is critical," said Richard Archer, Chief Strategy Officer at Insurwave. "Our partnership with Osprey Flight Solutions underscores our commitment to equipping insurance professionals with tools that provide unparalleled accuracy and efficiency in assessing and managing risk. Together, we're setting new benchmarks for the aviation insurance market."

The integration is designed to support quicker, data-driven decision-making in a sector increasingly affected by complex risks, including geopolitical tensions, regulatory instability and incidents involving misidentification of aircraft in conflict zones.

Andrew Nicholson, Chief Executive Officer at Osprey Flight Solutions, said: "This partnership represents a significant step forward in aviation risk management. By combining Osprey's ability to deliver precise, actionable aviation risk data with Insurwave's industry-leading insurance platform, we are creating a game-changing capability.

"Together, we empower our clients to navigate the ever-evolving array of aviation security risks with confidence, clarity, and efficiency, enhancing the safety and security of global flight operations."

The companies highlighted that the partnership directly addresses pressing challenges faced by the aviation industry. Among these are the increasing number of operational threats in conflict zones and the regulatory volatility surrounding flight paths, which demand real-time, high-fidelity data to support underwriting and exposure decisions.

Recent case studies, including analyses of incidents in Russian airspace, were cited in the announcement as examples of where accurate, timely data was critical to managing risk.

The new integration is expected to reduce response times and provide insurance stakeholders with improved situational awareness.

The Insurwave platform currently provides exposure and data management capabilities across the specialty insurance market. With the addition of Osprey's aviation insights, users will now benefit from a centralised solution which has been designed to modernise how aviation risks are visualised and evaluated.

Both companies are positioning this partnership as a model for how technology and risk intelligence can work together to advance industry standards in specialty insurance.

The platform enhancement is now available to Insurwave users, with both firms signalling ongoing collaboration to expand capabilities in line with evolving aviation and geopolitical risks.
