PARSIPPANY, N.J., Dec. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Aerospace, Inc., a leading provider of aerospace insurance, is pleased to announce two enhancements to its exclusive Aircraft Breakdown Assistance program.

In addition, upon renewing their policy in 2019, qualified Global clients who signed up for the Savvy program in 2018 will be automatically registered for another year of protection, at no additional cost. New policyholders in 2019 will also be eligible to sign up for the Aircraft Breakdown Assistance program at no additional cost.

The Aircraft Breakdown Assistance program supported by Savvy Aviation is available at no additional cost and provides professional maintenance management, consulting and breakdown assistance for owner-flown general aviation airplanes.

The Aircraft Breakdown Assistance program provides Global policyholders with 24/7 access to a dedicated toll-free assistance hotline and experienced Savvy Airframe and Powerplant and Inspection Authorization (A&P/IA) technicians. Savvy technicians will troubleshoot mechanical problems and help owners determine whether an aircraft is safe to fly home. If repairs are needed, they will help find a local, trustworthy maintenance provider and work with them to get pilots safely, and quickly, back in the air.
