About Signature Flight Support
Signature Flight Support at Norfolk International Airport operates a full-service, 24-hour FBO on 29.5 acres serving the Hampton Roads metropolitan area of southeastern Virginia. The facility at 6101 Burton Station Road handles a diverse mix of private aviation traffic driven by the region's heavy military presence, shipbuilding industry, and corporate base. Norfolk is home to the world's largest naval base, Naval Station Norfolk, and the surrounding area hosts numerous defense contractors, which generates consistent business jet traffic. The airport's 9,001-foot primary runway accommodates all business jet types, and the field is home to over 100 general aviation aircraft. Signature provides fueling, hangar space, ground handling, and maintenance through its FAA Part 145 certified repair station. Passenger amenities include lounges, flight planning facilities, and concierge services for ground transportation and local arrangements. The Hampton Roads region encompasses Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Newport News, Hampton, and Chesapeake, with a combined population of about 1.8 million. From the FBO, passengers can reach downtown Norfolk in about 15 minutes, Virginia Beach's oceanfront in 25 minutes, and the Newport News shipyard area in roughly 30 minutes via the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel. The area draws leisure visitors as well, with Virginia Beach's resort district, the Chrysler Museum of Art, and Colonial Williamsburg all within reasonable driving distance. For passengers attending events at the Norfolk Scope Arena or conducting business with the Navy or defense contractors in the area, Signature at Norfolk provides reliable, round-the-clock service with the full range of amenities expected from the Signature brand. The single-FBO setup means all private aviation at Norfolk flows through this facility.
