Signature Aviation, Sixt Car Rental Partner in Europe

In a move that aims to strengthen its presence in the high-end European travel market, car rental provider Sixt has formed an agreement with Signature Aviation to introduce its services directly into its FBOs, starting with more than 30 locations in the region.

Signature’s customers will gain access to Sixt’s premium fleet, which includes luxury sedans and SUVs, including ramp-side delivery where permitted. To ensure a seamless transition from air to ground, vehicle reservations will be coordinated primarily through Signature Aviation. At the participating locations, Sixt will deliver vehicles to the respective location, with Signature staff managing the final handover to the customer.

Also available are one-way rentals between private aviation terminals and commercial airports, with dedicated handling and priority service for repeat guests.

“Our guests expect a consistent, high-quality experience at every touchpoint of their journey,” said Rick Elieson, Signature’s senior v-p for commercial strategy and guest experience. “By aligning our European network of private aviation terminals with Sixt’s premium rental services, we are enhancing the continuity between air and ground travel. This partnership strengthens our ability to provide reliable, service-driven solutions that meet the expectations of private aviation guests in EMEA.”

The partnership launches at 31 Signature locations across Europe. It includes key private aviation hubs in the UK (such as London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London Luton, Manchester, and Edinburgh), Italy (including Milan Linate, Milan Malpensa, Rome Ciampino, Venice, and Naples), France (Paris Le Bourget and Nice), Germany (Munich), Greece (Athens, Heraklion, and Thessaloniki), Switzerland (Geneva and Sion), and Ireland (Dublin and Shannon).

“Partnering with Signature Aviation expands our international presence within the private aviation sector,” explained Vinzenz Pflanz, Sixt’s chief business officer at SIXT. “This collaboration reflects our continued focus on further international growth and on connecting ground mobility more closely with established aviation infrastructures.”
