Signature Flight Support recently held the grand reopening of its newly renovated FBO at Virginia’s Charlottesville Albemarle Airport. The lone aviation services provider on the field, Signature spent nearly $2 million on the upgrade to the facility's 10,000-sq-ft terminal. The four-month project included the exterior façade and a full interior refit, complete with a new lobby, CSR desk, coffee bar, conference room, internet café, and the installation of LED lighting throughout the facility. For crewmembers, there is a new pilot lounge with quiet rooms.

“Our recent investment in Signature Charlottesville is directly representative of our commitment to engage in capital-improvement projects throughout our worldwide network of fixed-base operations,” said Signature president and COO Maria Sastre. “Every single location in our network strives to provide an extraordinary experience, and the renovation of our existing FBO facilities represents a key component of our strategy to drive long-term value for our stakeholders.”
