Signature Flight Support

Signature Flight Support operates a 24/7 FBO at Raleigh-Durham International Airport with full ground handling, fueling, passenger lounges, crew rest facilities, and conference room access for business travelers. The ELITE+ program provides enhanced service for charter operators and corporate flight departments with dedicated lounge space and priority ramp handling.

Research Triangle Park, the 7,000-acre research and technology corridor that gives the region its name, sits approximately 10 minutes from the FBO. The park houses more than 300 companies including major pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and technology firms, making RDU a high-frequency destination for corporate aviation. Midweek traffic reflects the density of business activity, with lighter leisure travel supplementing the commercial mix on weekends.

Ground transport runs approximately 10 minutes to RTP, 20 minutes to downtown Raleigh, and 15 minutes to downtown Durham. Chapel Hill and the University of North Carolina campus are about 25 minutes by car.

Signature's concierge team handles ground transportation arrangements, catering, and crew logistics. The conference room facilities allow business travelers to work during short turnarounds without leaving the FBO campus, which is useful for the pattern of fly-in meetings common to the life sciences sector. Clinical trial visits, regulatory meetings, and pharmaceutical company campus visits generate a consistent stream of charter arrivals at RDU.

The facility handles both light and heavy aircraft, with ramp space accommodating the mix of mid-size jets common to corporate travel and the occasional large-cabin aircraft arriving for major institutional events at area universities and medical centers. Duke University Medical Center is approximately 20 minutes from the airport, and Wake Medical Center in Raleigh is within 25 minutes.
