Signature moves to clearer FBO pricing with new Access plan

Signature Aviation launched Signature Access to give private aircraft operators a more predictable view of ramp and terminal charges before arrival. The company also said special event fees will be limited to a smaller list of high-demand events.

• Signature Access announced October 28, 2026
• Pricing combines core access charges into one simplified figure
• Charges vary by aircraft size, ramp time and terminal location
• First-hour ramp waiver tied to eligible fuel purchases in the continental U.S.
• Event fees to be flagged at least 30 days ahead

Signature Aviation, one of the largest FBO networks, is changing how it presents private aviation ground-service pricing. Its new Signature Access program rolls several core access-related charges into a single price that customers can estimate before a trip.

The program is based on aircraft size, time on the ramp and the terminal used. At continental U.S. locations, eligible fuel purchases can bring a first-hour ramp waiver, while optional items such as hangarage, lavatory service and ground power remain separate.

FBO bills are a regular pain point for private flyers and operators because costs can vary sharply by airport and event. Signature’s move is notable because it tackles the planning problem directly, while narrowing special event fees to dates such as the Super Bowl, Art Basel, the U.S. Open and select Formula 1 weekends.
