Most expensive year for airlines' insurance
Airlines are facing the most expensive year for insurance costs since the 9/11 attacks.
The downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH-17 and the disappearance of MH-370 have contributed to what is thought to be a $2bn loss for the aviation insurance industry so far this year.
There are reports underwriters are demanding more than three-fold increases in premiums for so-called "war" policies.
