About Signature Flight Support

Signature Flight Support at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport occupies the North GA Ramp at 2200 Aberdeen Street in Kenner, accessible via Aberdeen Drive off Veterans Boulevard. The facility is one of two FBOs handling private aviation at New Orleans International, sharing the field with Atlantic Aviation.

The Signature terminal provides a passenger lounge, Wi-Fi, complimentary refreshments, and the standard Signature amenities that frequent business aviation travelers expect. Ground transportation into the city is readily arranged, with the French Quarter about 15 miles east and downtown New Orleans about 12 miles southeast. The drive typically takes 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic.

New Orleans is one of the most popular private aviation destinations in the country, with traffic peaking dramatically during Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Sugar Bowl, and Saints home games. During these events, both FBOs operate at high capacity, and advance ramp reservations are strongly recommended. Signature's ground handling team is experienced with the surge operations these events require, including coordinating simultaneous arrivals and managing tight ramp space.

The airport has two parallel runways, with the longest at 10,104 feet, handling all business jet types. The field sits at 4 feet elevation on the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain, which means sea-level performance for departing aircraft.

For passengers whose New Orleans destination is on the lakefront or in Metairie, the airport is very close. For those heading to the French Quarter, Garden District, or Warehouse District, the drive is manageable but not short. New Orleans Lakefront Airport is a closer option for city-center destinations and also has a Signature FBO.

Signature MSY handles sports teams, entertainment groups, and high-volume charter operations alongside routine corporate traffic. The North GA Ramp location and experienced staff make it a reliable choice for the New Orleans market.

Downtown New Orleans and the French Quarter are about 13 miles east via I-10, typically a 25 to 35 minute drive in normal traffic. During major festivals or Saints game days, that stretch of I-10 can back up significantly and the drive can run 60 minutes or more. Car service and black car operators are plentiful given the volume of event travelers the city draws. Rental cars are available at the airport. Rideshare pickup is straightforward from the FBO side. There is no rail connection between the airport and downtown.
