New Program Aims to Increase Transparency and Affordability for Pilots
Signature Aviation has introduced a new program to simplify fees for aircraft visiting its FBOs, addressing long-standing complaints from pilots and operators. The Signature Access program combines various charges into a single price based on aircraft size, time spent on the ramp, and location. Pilots can use an online calculator to check fees before arrival, and qualifying fuel purchases will waive the first hour’s access charge. The move follows years of advocacy from the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) and the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) for greater transparency and affordability in FBO pricing. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
