Prime Appearance—the aircraft detailing division of Texas-based PrimeFlight Aviation Services—has acquired Signature Aviation’s aircraft detailing operation at metro New York-area Teterboro Airport (KTEB) to enhance its already sizable presence on the field. Signature acquired the business as part of its purchase of Meridian (Signature West) last year.
In operation at more than 160 airports in the U.S., the company specializes in a wide range of aircraft services, including exterior detailing, paint protection, leather treatments, interior detailing and restoration, and transient support.
The Signature West-based crew will immediately transition to the Prime Appearance brand,  providing exterior quick turn service, exterior wash and wax, paint sealant, gear well detailing, interior cleaning, bright work polishing, and carpet extraction. The move increases Prime Appearance's staffing at KTEB to 46 employees.
“We are excited to expand our presence at one of the general aviation industry’s busiest airports,” said PrimeFlight COO Charlotte Cheatham. “We are now better positioned to support our base and transient customers with around-the-clock operations at several FBOs across the airport.”
