Handling Charges

We believe the quality, safety, comfort and security of executive aviation travel should be reflected in the services provided by the FBO. Accordingly, Signature Flight Support facilities are designed and staffed to meet the highest service standards. To facilitate the equitable distribution of the costs associated with maintaining and operating our facilities, a handling charge will apply to aircraft that do not purchase a minimum amount of fuel.

Signature BED, BWI, DEN, DET, EWR, FLL, HSV, IAD, LAS, MDW, MIA, MKE, MMU, MSP, ORD, PWK, SAV, and SFO have their own handling charge rates and minimums. Contact the base for additional details. For all other locations, refer to the table below.
