Signature Flight Support continued its network growth with the addition of Wiggins Airways, the lone service provider at New Hampshire’s Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. The FBO’s assets include a passenger terminal, fuel farm and 87,000 sq ft of hangar space capable of sheltering large-cabin business aircraft.

“The Wiggins team’s commitment to safety, service excellence and efficiency will continue with Signature Flight Support,” said Jim Thomforde, CEO of Wiggins Airways, which had been in operation since 1929. “This is truly a win-win for both companies as well as our employees, customers, the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport and the greater Manchester area.”

Signature will provide fueling and de-icing and charter handling. Between its company-owned FBOs, licensees and Signature Select franchise locations, the BBA Aviation subsidiary’s network totals 120 locations worldwide, including 68 in North America.
