AirModo Drone Insurance App Partners with Unmanned Safety Institute for Safety Benefits

AirModo is a new instant drone insurance app that allows unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) operators to purchase either hourly or annual policies to suit their growing business or hobby.  The app, available on both iOS and Android platforms, provides options to buy insurance for a single drone or a fleet, add multiple pilots, and purchase on-the-spot insurance with policy documents generated and sent via email once operators have made their payment.

Now, in addition to a fast and convenient app experience, AirModo has partnered with the drone industry’s most recognized provider of professional training and safety services, the Unmanned Safety Institute (USI).  All policies purchased on AirModo’s app accumulate SafetyPoints, which can be used with USI.

“The fun and excitement associated with recreational drone use, or the enormous value proposition derived from commercial UAS operations, can disappear in an instant in the event of an incident or accident,” commented Josh Olds, President and CEO of the Unmanned Safety Institute. Olds continued, “Even with today’s UAS becoming more capable and sophisticated, risk management remains the responsibility of every operator.  We worked with AirModo to provide an incredibly wide selection of safety related products and services that can elevate individual pilots’ knowledge and skills and enhance organizational commitment to safe, effective, and efficient operations.”

AirModo’s Andrew Spiegel added, “AirModo recognized the ‘anywhere, anytime’ need inherent in drone operations throughout the recreational and commercial marketplaces.  With the AirModo app, our customer can select custom coverage, instantly access their insurance certificate, and initiate in-house claims service.  Because AirModo believes that the best risk mitigation strategy is a well-trained pilot using industry best practices for safe operations, we are happy to announce that every AirModo policy issued earns SafetyPoints that can be redeemed for a wide variety of safety related products and services from USI.”

The AirModo app is available for download in the App Store for iOS devices or the Google Play Store for Android devices.  To see more about the wide variety of safety related products and services available from USI, please visit: https://www.unmannedsafetyinstitute.org/airmodo and to learn more about AirModo and to see how it compares, please visit https://www.airmodo.com/ .
