FRANKFURT/LONDON, March 10 (Reuters) – Germany's Allianz has said it is the lead insurer covering the Malaysia Airlines jet that disappeared over the Pacific Ocean on Saturday, while Willis has emerged as broker.
Allianz confirmed on Monday that it was the main provider of insurance on the aircraft itself and the liabilities attached to the passengers and cargo but declined to comment on the extent of its exposure or identify other insurers with exposure.
“We extend our sympathy to all those affected by the loss of flight MH370, and will be working closely with co-insurers to support our client… as fully and quickly as possible,” an Allianz spokesman said on Monday.
