Richard Longley

Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand

Richard Longley appears to be a current, active aviation insurance broker at Rothbury Austinsure. Official sources support deep aviation specialization, including commercial aviation, aviation liability, contracts, global/NZ market placement, launch-service exposure and aviation claims handling. Rothbury publicly lists broad aviation solutions and market access, but does not publish detailed underwriting appetite, minimums or explicit standalone renter/non-owned pilot products.

Best for

  • New Zealand and Pacific aviation businesses
  • Private and commercial fixed-wing or rotor-wing operators
  • Aero clubs, gliding clubs and training organisations
  • RPAS/drone operators
  • Airports, aerodromes, hangar risks and aviation service providers
  • Complex aviation contract, lease/rental, claims or market-placement questions

Potential drawbacks

  • No instant online aviation quote or bindable application found.
  • Detailed underwriting appetite is not public.
  • Standalone renter/non-owned pilot coverage remains unclear online.
  • Independent aviation-specific reviews are limited.
