About Signature Flight Support
Signature Flight Support operates a 24/7 private terminal at Los Angeles International with full ground handling, fueling, and international arrivals processing. Charter passengers arrive and depart from a dedicated facility on the south ramp, separated from the commercial terminals that process over 80 million passengers annually.
The ELITE+ program provides enhanced lounge amenities, dedicated passenger service, and priority scheduling for charter operators and corporate flight departments. Signature's LAX location handles customs and CBP inspections on-site, which matters for international arrivals that would otherwise route through commercial immigration facilities.
Ground transport from the south ramp runs approximately 10 minutes to Century City, 15 minutes to the Westside, and 20 minutes to Beverly Hills. Downtown Los Angeles is roughly 30 minutes depending on freeway traffic, which in Los Angeles varies considerably by time of day.
Los Angeles is one of the country's busiest charter markets year-round. Awards season from January through March drives significant private aviation traffic as studios, agencies, and talent move between LA, New York, and secondary markets. Major sporting events and entertainment industry production travel fill gaps between calendar peaks.
Signature's concierge team arranges ground transportation, catering, hotel bookings, and crew accommodations. The facility maintains crew rest areas and passenger lounges designed for the longer waits that sometimes accompany complex international trip planning. For operators flying into LAX on tight schedules, the south ramp location provides direct ramp access without routing through the commercial terminal complex. Rental car counters and charter coordination support are available around the clock.
