5X5 Partners with Citation Jet Pilots Association to Give Members Better Insurance Options, Discounts
MINNEAPOLIS – 5X5 Aviation Insurance, the only direct-to-consumer insurance provider in the high-end, owner-flown market, announces a new strategic partnership with the Citation Jet Pilots Association (CJP). This collaboration gives CJP members access to flexible coverage options, exclusive discounts, and insurance that directly recognizes participation in the association’s industry-leading CJP Gold Standard Safety Award.
By working with 5X5, safety-driven CJP members will not only save on premiums but also benefit from an insurance model that aligns underwriting requirements with the way they actually operate their aircraft.
Exclusive benefits for CJP members include:
5% savings for all CJP members, with opportunities to increase that to 10% with additional training or data sharing.
Recognizing and rewarding CJP’s most safety-committed pilots, Gold Standard Safety Award recipients can receive additional savings for a total discount of up to 20%.
Flexible coverage options, giving members the ability to choose policies that best match their aircraft use, training commitment and risk profile.
Streamlined, pilot-friendly access, eliminating the traditional broker layer and making policies faster, simpler and more transparent.
“At 5X5, we built an insurance company around the idea that safer pilots deserve better coverage and preferred underwriting” said Troy Kopischke, CEO and Founder of 5X5 Aviation Insurance. “Partnering with CJP is a natural fit — their members are among the most safety-focused pilots in the world, and this collaboration allows us to reward that commitment directly.”
Rob Balzano, CEO of CJP, added: “Our partnership with 5X5 is about more than lower premiums — it’s about aligning with an insurance provider that shares our vision. CJP members train harder, fly smarter and commit to programs that raise the safety bar for all owner-flown jets. Working with 5X5 ensures that commitment translates into real value at every renewal.”
Currently authorized to write policies in more than 29 states and expanding quickly to all 48 contiguous states, 5X5 Aviation Insurance is redefining what modern aircraft insurance looks like. Together, 5X5 and CJP are raising the bar for how pilot safety is recognized, rewarded and supported.
