Southeastern Aviation Underwriters was acquired by which company?

• A. American International Group
• B. General Dynamics
• C. Travelers
• D. Beebe and Chambers

Answer: (A)

Acquisitions are a fast way for a large insurer to broaden its capabilities in a specialized field like aviation. Southeastern Aviation Underwriters became part of American International Group, adding Southeastern’s aviation underwriting expertise to AIG’s global platform. This kind of move strengthens underwriting capacity, broadens the client network, and expands distribution, which is exactly the aim when a major insurer grows its specialty book through strategic acquisitions.
