About Signature Flight Support

Signature Flight Support operates from the Business Aviation Centre at Hangar 7, located in the Western Maintenance Area of Manchester Airport. The facility serves as the region's primary private aviation terminal, providing a separate experience from the busy commercial terminals that handle over 28 million passengers annually. Inside, the FBO includes a VIP suite, crew lounge, and conference rooms equipped with video capabilities. Passengers can be driven ramp-side directly to their aircraft, avoiding the need to walk across the apron, and valet parking is available for those arriving by car. On-site customs and immigration processing means international departures and arrivals are handled efficiently within the FBO itself, without routing through the main terminal. Signature Manchester provides full ground handling, fueling, and aircraft servicing, with the resources of the world's largest FBO network behind it. Manchester Airport has two runways exceeding 10,000 feet, handling aircraft of any size without restriction. The airport sits at the junction of the M56 motorway, putting central Manchester about 30 minutes away and making connections to Liverpool, Leeds, and the wider North of England straightforward. For charter passengers, the Signature facility at Hangar 7 offers a reliable and professional experience. The presence of a second FBO at Manchester (Weston Aviation's Aether terminal) gives passengers a choice, but Signature's global consistency and established infrastructure make it a dependable option for both domestic and international flights.
