Signature Flight Support has signed an agreement with Fraport AG to open an FBO at Frankfurt Main International Airport (FRA/EDDF).
The new Signature location will operate out of the general aviation terminal and feature the full suite of Signature Flight Support services. Supervisory services and coordination for fuel and concierge services will be offered complementing Signature’s facility in Munich (MUC/EDDM) and its complete flight support services which assist customers with a single point of contact for fuel, billing, catering, hotels, ground transportation and other essential services. Frankfurt will be Signature's second full service ground handling business in Germany with an existing FBO at Munich (MUC). Commenting on this new agreement, Joe Gibney, Vice President and Managing Director for Signature’s EMEA operations said, “With the addition of Frankfurt to the global Signature network, we are able to offer access to two of the most compelling airports in Germany, Munich and now Frankfurt. This further enhances our network of top global locations and provides additional connectivity for the important German business aviation market.” Signature expects this new facility to be operational in December of 2011 and will renovate the existing facility to meet Signature’s world-class standards.
