Hughes, TomIUAI Cyber and Emerging Risks Study Group 2026 Survey Summary From isolated perils to systemic stress / Tom Hughes; Florian Zierer. — London : International Underwriting Association (IUA) : Swiss Re, 20268 p.Executive Summary -- Threats facing the aviation sector -- Risks to aviation operators / airports -- Risks to the space industry over the next 5 years -- Challenges for aviation (re)insurers -- Opportunities for aviation (re)insurers. — Sumario: The 2026 IUAI Cyber and Emerging Risks Study Group Survey shows a clear shift in aviation insurance from isolated technical perils to systemic, externally driven stressors. Respondents ranked geopolitical instability/war as the top threat, followed by malicious cyber risks and supply chain/manufacturing issues. For operators, the most urgent 2026 risks are ATC issues/upgrades, staff shortages/fatigue, runway incursions, and airspace management with UAVs/eVTOL. For (re)insurers, US claims inflation is the greatest challenge, alongside market conditions/rate adequacy and talent shortages. Opportunities are led by AI, new aircraft types (UAVs/eVTOL), and growing aviation demand; AI is primarily seen as an efficiency and decision-quality enhancer. Overall, the market is increasingly defined by systemic risk, operational constraints, and external volatility, implying the need for evolved exposure management, pricing adequacy, and policy wordings. — Ámbito geográfico: Internacional1.
