Following a recent spate of construction projects, Signature Aviation has completed the renovation of its FBO at Hanscom Field Airport (KBED) in Bedford, Massachusetts.
In addition to 110,000 sq ft of heated hangars that can shelter ultra-long-range business jets and 31,000 sq ft of office space, the facility includes a new, airy 6,500-sq-ft passenger terminal. This represents an increase of 2,500 sq ft over the previous FBO terminal.
Since many private aviation passengers prefer ramp-side vehicle access, Signature established a one-way airside loop at the facility to simplify transit to the aircraft, adding additional signage and faster-responding gates to optimize the passenger drop-off and pickup processes.
“Hanscom Field is a familiar name for any aircraft operator that frequents Boston or broader New England, which makes it an indispensable part of Signature’s Northeast presence,” said company CEO Tony Lefebvre. “Our reimaging of Signature Bedford has really been about delivering the best experience to our customers, down to the smallest details.”
The new KBED terminal joins the chain’s newest facilities at Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage, Alaska, and in the UK at Edinburgh and Birmingham airports. A new FBO is also set to debut shortly at Signature’s Key West International Airport location in South Florida.
