What is flying as a passenger in light aircraft?

Flying as a passenger in light aircraft refers to travelling in small, privately operated planes that are not licensed to carry fare-paying passengers. These flights are often used for sightseeing, leisure, or private journeys, offering a unique and more personal flying experience than commercial aviation.

Do I need travel insurance for flying in light aircraft?

Yes. Although flying in a light aircraft can be enjoyable, it carries potential risks such as turbulence, mechanical issues, or emergency landings. Travel insurance provides important cover for medical treatment, flight disruptions, and other unforeseen events that could affect your trip.
