She said industry stability remains strong, with about 2 percent of annual premiums at risk, and emphasized regulators will aid New York claim handling while domestic carriers avoid war language in policies.

Aviation ties feel the shock of attacks in Wichita
Wichita, the aviation capital, braces for economic impact from Tuesday's attacks. Boeing and local manufacturers Raytheon, Cessna, and Bombardier may gain or lose as airlines face losses and security costs rise. Boeing stresses diversification with defense contracts helping offset losses. Cessna notes no orders gained or lost immediately, while airlines adjust and security-driven travel delays reshape demand. Local relief efforts see Cessna and Raytheon deploying assets to blood transport and Red Cross support. A Muslim community member reflects on the tragedy with a prayer gathering as fear and resolve unite in hard times.
