About Signature Flight Support

Signature Flight Support is the sole FBO at Rochester International Airport in southeastern Minnesota, seven miles south of downtown Rochester. The facility primarily serves business aviation traffic generated by Mayo Clinic, one of the world's most prominent medical institutions and the region's dominant employer. The connection between the FBO and Mayo Clinic is direct: Signature Flight Support Rochester operates as a subsidiary of Mayo Clinic, giving the facility an institutional relationship with the medical center that no other FBO in the country can match. The terminal provides flight planning facilities, a break room, restrooms, and fueling at self-service rates. Hangars of 18,000 and 20,000 square feet accommodate aircraft up to the Gulfstream GIV. The airport functions as Minnesota's second-busiest, a distinction driven almost entirely by Mayo Clinic's patient population and the specialists, executives, and donors who travel by private jet to Rochester. For charter passengers, this typically means traveling to Rochester for medical consultations, procedures, or visits to family members receiving treatment at Mayo. The 9,032-foot primary runway accommodates all business jet types, and the airport operates ILS approaches that help maintain access during Minnesota's frequent winter weather events. Downtown Rochester and the Mayo Clinic campus are a 15-minute drive from the FBO. The city has invested heavily in the Destination Medical Center initiative, a $5.6 billion development plan that is transforming downtown with new hotels, restaurants, retail, and public spaces designed to serve the medical center's patients and visitors. For passengers flying into Rochester for Mayo-related travel, Signature provides the only FBO option at an airport purpose-built to serve one of America's most important healthcare institutions.

The Mayo Clinic campus is about 6 miles from the airport, a 10 to 15 minute drive depending on traffic. Downtown Rochester is roughly the same distance. Car rental counters are available at the terminal. Rideshare and taxi service to the clinic is reliable given how frequently medical travelers use this route. There is no helicopter transfer infrastructure between the airport and the clinic, but the drive is straightforward enough that ground transport is the standard approach.
