More Information

TopCover has been used by Emirates pilots since July 2000, when IPEP was formed. IPEP has always been run by volunteers who acted in the interests of the Emirates pilots and who received no commissions or other payments from the insurance company.

Emirates pilots who are in the API scheme, which offers much lower limits of income protection, are welcome to join IPEP. We encourage all pilots to carefully review all options available to them. TopCover is regulated, legally binding insurance product, insured with one of the world’s leading insurance companies.
