About Signature Flight Support
Signature Flight Support at Memphis International is located at 2488 Winchester Road on the general aviation side of the field, sharing the airport with Wilson Air Center. The facility includes a 70,000-square-foot hangar that can accommodate aircraft up to a Gulfstream IV, along with standard Signature passenger and crew amenities.
The terminal provides a passenger lounge, Wi-Fi, and the Altitude Cafe, which serves breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Having an on-site dining option is a practical convenience for passengers waiting for crew or coordinating ground transportation. The staff arranges rental cars, car service, and hotel reservations throughout the Memphis area.
Memphis International is known primarily as the global hub for FedEx, which means the airport infrastructure is built to handle massive volumes of traffic. For private aviation, this translates into excellent runways, multiple instrument approaches, and a control tower accustomed to managing complex operations around the clock. The longest runway stretches 11,120 feet.
The airport is located about 10 miles south of downtown Memphis. Beale Street, the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel, and the Memphis BBQ trail are all within a 20-minute drive. Graceland, Elvis Presley's estate, is actually very close to the airport, just a few miles north on Elvis Presley Boulevard. The Overton Park area, home to the Memphis Zoo and the Brooks Museum, is about 15 minutes north.
Signature competes directly with Wilson Air Center at Memphis, which has won numerous industry awards and attracts a loyal following. Signature's advantages include its national network, TailWins program, and familiar service standards that frequent business aviation users appreciate. For passengers, both options deliver quality ground handling at a major Southern airport.
