US private aviation company Airshare has entered a nationwide FBO service agreement with Signature Aviation, the world's largest network of private aviation terminals. Through this nationwide partnership, Signature has committed to providing Airshare customers with premier aviation hospitality services at approximately 120 locations.
Following its acquisition of the Wheels Up aircraft management business in September 2023, Airshare has become one of the largest fleet operators in the United States. Its aircraft management and charter services are already offered nationwide, while the Airshare fractional programme has recently expanded into new regions, offering fractional ownership and jet cards in several new states including Florida, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Ohio, Georgia and Arkansas. With the company's fleet now approaching 150 aircraft, Airshare had been actively pursuing a new partnership to leverage the scale and expertise of a national FBO network, while ensuring all customers would consistently receive an exceptional experience regardless of where they fly.
“Partnering with Signature Aviation was a natural decision for Airshare, as we have already been working with it for several years and felt strongly that we share similar values,” says John Owen, CEO and president of Airshare. “With our fleet increasing substantially and our company recently doubling in size, teaming with an FBO network we were confident in became even more critical as we explore future growth plans. We are excited about the benefits this new agreement will provide for both our managed and fractional customers.”
“The updated partnership between Signature Aviation and Airshare builds on a shared commitment to creating exceptional guest experiences,” adds Clarissa Sebastian, senior vice president, global sales at Signature Aviation. “We are thrilled to welcome more Airshare customers as guests throughout our network and believe this partnership exemplifies how our world-class team and infrastructure can help reimagine and reinvent the travel experience.”
