Forcing a pilot to fly aircraft to an unscheduled destination. The normal aircraft ‘all risks’ policy excludes hijacking.

Hijacking of lorries has been a concern for goods-in-transit insurers but the risk is not excluded. ‘Carjacking’ is the same thing but applies when cars are forcibly taken from their drivers.
