“We are pleased to welcome Chantilly Air to Signature Select and the global Signature Flight Support network,” expressed Mark Johnstone, CEO, Signature Aviation. “Chantilly Air’s reputation for ramp safety and adherence to industry best practices resonates with our own Signature Service Promise. I am confident their enrollment in the Signature Select program will unlock significant mutual benefit for both of our customers and organizations.”
“The fact that we can maintain our independent operations but add the elements of the Signature brand to our FBO is exciting” shared Tim Sullivan, COO Chantilly Air Jet Center. “Chantilly Air is a family-owned entity that started in 1990. Building on our 30-year reputation as an aircraft charter and management provider, we look forward to becoming an FBO of choice for the metro DC area, as well as having a long and mutually beneficial partnership with the Signature network.”
