Hallmark's official aviation pages still describe aircraft hull and liability, airport liability, FBO, hangar, flight school and charter coverages through appointed brokers. However, Bishop Street acquired Aerospace Insurance Managers from Hallmark on July 1, 2025, and current 2026 public releases route new aviation submissions to AIM at aerospaceim.com with HDI A+ capacity. Treat Hallmark as a legacy/currently ambiguous aviation carrier record that needs manual confirmation before being shown as a current standalone aviation provider.

Best for

  • Aviation brokers and agents needing a general aviation market
  • Small private and business aircraft risks
  • Airport, hangar, FBO, flight school and charter operations
  • Hard-to-place general aviation submissions that need specialized underwriting review

Potential drawbacks

  • Manual confirmation needed on current issuing paper and Hallmark versus AIM routing
  • No public online quote or bind workflow found
  • Hallmark aviation pages and hallmarkgrp.com AIM mailboxes may be legacy after the AIM sale
  • Aviation-specific independent customer reviews are sparse
  • Hallmark Insurance Group ratings were withdrawn in 2023, while current aviation capacity is described through AIM/HDI

Independent aviation-specific customer feedback is sparse. Official and trade sources present AIM/Hallmark aviation as a specialized general aviation market with broker distribution, HDI-backed A+ capacity and post-sale Bishop Street support. Aviation forum references mainly identify Aerospace Insurance Managers/Hallmark as one of several U.S. aviation markets and discuss Hallmark's 2023 rating withdrawal, rather than providing detailed aviation customer or claims reviews. General Hallmark auto/property review sources show mixed to negative claims-service complaints, but those are not aviation-specific and should not be generalized without caution.

Positive themes

  • Official and trade sources emphasize specialized general aviation underwriting.
  • Current AIM/HDI public sources highlight HDI A+ rated capacity and a 48-state aviation footprint.
  • AIM's official messaging emphasizes clear communication, timely policy delivery and dependable claims support.
  • AIM is positioned for brokers and agents handling complex or hard-to-place general aviation risks.

Negative themes

  • Current Hallmark versus AIM aviation routing is publicly ambiguous after the July 1, 2025 sale.
  • Exact current issuing company or policy paper is not fully confirmed in public sources for each AIM quote.
  • Hallmark Insurance Group's AM Best ratings were withdrawn in 2023 after downgrades, while current aviation capacity is described at the AIM/HDI level.
  • General non-aviation Hallmark review sources include complaints about claims delays and service responsiveness.
  • No online quote or bind workflow was found.

Forum themes

  • Pilots of America forum discussion lists Aerospace Insurance Managers (Hallmark) among aviation insurance markets and notes that not every market will quote every aircraft, pilot, state or risk.
  • Mooneyspace aviation insurance market discussion noted Hallmark rating withdrawals in 2023 and suggested most Mooney owners were not with Hallmark while other markets could likely absorb business.
  • No substantial forum thread focused on AIM aviation claims handling or Hallmark AIM service quality was found.
