Signature buys Castle & Cooke FBO at Van Nuys
Signature Aviation expanded again at Van Nuys Airport near Los Angeles by adding the former Castle & Cooke FBO. The deal gives Signature three separate locations on the field.
Van Nuys is one of the most important business aviation airports in the country, serving entertainment, finance, sports, and West Coast corporate traffic. FBO space there is valuable because ramp access, hangars, fuel sales, and passenger handling all sit close to heavy private jet demand.
The move shows how the ground side of private aviation is consolidating. For travelers, the name on the terminal may matter less than capacity and service. For the industry, owning more of Van Nuys is a strong position in a market where airport real estate is hard to replace.
