Signature Flight Support

Signature Flight Support is the sole FBO at London Gatwick Airport, handling all private and general aviation traffic at the UK's second-busiest commercial airport. The facility is located north of the main terminal building and operates 24 hours a day, accommodating aircraft from helicopters up to Boeing 747 size. Signature can assist with slot acquisition at Gatwick, which is important because the airport operates under slot restrictions that require advance coordination. For charter passengers, the key advantage of using Gatwick is its connectivity: passengers arriving on a private jet can transfer to the FBO while the Signature team manages customs and immigration clearance, avoiding the congestion and wait times of the commercial terminal. This makes Gatwick a practical option for passengers connecting between a private flight and a commercial departure, or vice versa. The FBO provides VIP lounge facilities, full ground handling, aircraft fueling, and concierge services including ground transport coordination. The facility offers a degree of privacy and comfort that is not available through the commercial terminal, even with premium airline products. Gatwick sits approximately 30 miles south of central London, accessible via the M23 motorway and the Gatwick Express rail service. The airport's single-runway operation means some scheduling limitations during peak hours, but for private aviation, Signature's advance planning capabilities manage this effectively. Compared to the dedicated private aviation airports in the London area (Farnborough, Biggin Hill), Gatwick's FBO handles lower volumes of GA traffic, which can mean a quieter and more personal service experience. Signature's sole-operator status at the airport ensures they handle every detail from arrival to departure.
