Oregon-based fuel distributor Epic Fuels and Signature Flight Support are launching the Signature Flight Support Multi Service Aviation co-branded aviation card this week at the 2017 NBAA Schedulers and Dispatchers Conference in Forth Worth, Texas. It will be accepted at 8,000 locations worldwide, including all Signature locations in the U.S. and Canada, as well as at all Epic and UVair FBO Network branded facilities.

Epic believes the new Signature card will provide improved terms and credit lines for customers, along with greater convenience when purchasing fuel and ancillary services. “The launch of the new card provides the FBO networks of Epic and Signature, which when combined touch more than 87 percent of all departures out of the top 50 airports in North America, with a robust aviation fuel card to better serve their respective customers,” said Epic Fuels president Kevin Cox.

New cards will be sent to existing customers beginning in the first quarter, and applications for new cards can be submitted this week at Signature S&D conference booth or anytime at any Signature FBO. Cards can be tailored to aviation department requirements, such as assigned to tail numbers or pilots and require no fuel releases in the U.S.

“We’re excited to provide our customers with a convenient, flexible, aviation-focused payment method that meets their needs,” said Signature president and COO Maria Sastre. “Our goal is to ensure that every aspect of the customer experience, including payments, is streamlined for flight departments and pilots to optimize their productivity.”
