FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York Press Office: (212) 346-5500; media@iii.org
NEW YORK, NY, July 17, 2014 — Reporters are invited to contact the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) with questions about aviation coverage in the wake of today’s crash of Malaysian Airlines’ Flight 17 in the Ukraine.
Nearly three billion people fly safely each year on more than 37 million flights, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), and the global plane accident rate fell to the lowest level in aviation history in 2012.
I.I.I. president Robert Hartwig, an economist who has a pilot’s license, can speak broadly to the issue of aviation insurance. To set up an interview with Dr. Hartwig, contact Michael Barry, vice president, Media Relations, I.I.I., at 212-346-5542, or via email: michaelb@iii.org.
