HIVE Underwriters Collaborates with Dragonfly Intelligence to Strengthen Aviation Security Risk Management
London, UK – 9 March – HIVE Underwriters has announced the addition of Dragonfly Intelligence, part of Dow Jones Global Risk Insights and leading global intelligence and security risk advisory firm, to its network of intelligence partners to enhance its knowledge-led underwriting approach and deliver greater value to insurers and airline clients.
The combination of HIVE’s deep sector underwriting expertise with Dragonfly’s intelligence-led risk monitoring and assessment capabilities creates a more robust framework for managing aviation security risk. In support of the value proposition and resilience-focused service HIVE delivers to its clients, accounts that subscribe to the Dragonfly’s Security Intelligence & Analysis Service as a tool to better manage security risk will be offered a discount to their insurance premium where HIVE holds the lead underwriting position.
Dragonfly is an established geopolitical and security intelligence service for the aviation sector. It is recognized by the IATA as a strategic partner and has received the top ranking by Chambers & Partners for the last four years. Dragonfly counts several of the world's largest airlines amongst its clients.
Dragonfly joins HIVE’s growing ecosystem of intelligence partners - a collective of expert organisations that bring specialist data, analysis, and insight to strengthen HIVE’s knowledge-led underwriting. Together, these experts help clients better understand and manage complex operational and geopolitical risks, while improving the quality and depth of information available to insurers.
For airlines without dedicated security risk monitoring capabilities, HIVE’s collaboration with Dragonfly provides a practical solution to strengthen oversight and build more informed, forward-looking risk management frameworks.
David Langran, Class Underwriter at HIVE Underwriters, said:“At HIVE, we are constantly seeking new ways to enhance the value we offer our clients and broker partners. Adding to our ecosystem of intelligence partners with the expertise and technology of the Dragonfly team enables us to offer advanced forward-looking security risk mitigation support to those accounts where we take a lead position on risk. This collaboration supports airlines, particularly those without in-house security analysis, in building more robust, data-led risk management programmes. It’s another way we help our clients operate with greater confidence in an increasingly complex world.”
Henry Wilkinson, Chief Intelligence Officer at Dragonfly, commented: “This closer collaboration marks a step forward in helping our airline clients. By aligning Dragonfly’s forward-looking intelligence with HIVE’s underwriting leadership, we’re enabling airlines and their insurers to implement more robust, data-informed risk management programmes. The aviation sector faces an increasingly complex threat environment, and through this collaboration with the Hive team, we’re helping clients stay ahead of emerging risks.”
