“Our customers will benefit immensely from the substantially expanded global footprint of the Signature Flight Support network,” stated Maria Sastre, president and COO of Signature Flight Support.
Signature’s global network now numbers 195 global locations throughout North America, Europe, South America, Caribbean, Africa and Asia. The acquisition process required the divestment of six collocated FBOs.
Landmark’s aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul locations expand Signature’s existing MRO operations delivered through its Signature TechnicAir and CSE Citation Centre brands now available at 19 global locations.
