Howden noted that AEGIS was the first broker to offer loss of license insurance cover for pilots of airline groups in the Asia Pacific. 

Currently, it is the only insurance broker, which offers this service in Singapore. 

AEGIS Co-Founder Richard Tay said: “Our clients will benefit from Howden’s scale, international depth and breadth, and access to top-quality technology and digital solutions.”

AEGIS co-founder Evan Chng said: “As an employee-owned company with a People First culture that shares our commitment to client centricity and innovation, our people will be empowered to deliver ever more advanced risk solutions to clients as part of Howden.”

Last month, Howden bought SPF Private Clients (SPF) to strengthen its presence in the UK market.
