Airlines are preparing for nuclear war: new insurance policies to continue flights

Planes can continue flying after an atomic explosion, as insurers are trying to combat the escalation of conflict, and companies are taking measures to ensure that flights can continue even after the outbreak of a nuclear war.

Planes can continue flying after an atomic explosion as part of special insurance policies being developed to eliminate the possibility of nuclear escalation.

The current policy, which dates back to the 1950s, calls for the suspension of flights of all civilian aircraft worldwide in the event of a single nuclear explosion., based on the assumption that this will lead to the outbreak of World War III.

The conflict is more likely to involve so-called tactical warheads used for limited purposes on the battlefield, and the insurance industry has developed plans to continue flights in regions far from conflict zones.Gallagher, the world's largest aviation insurance broker, has started working on this scheme.
