Signature Aviation’s $10 million hangar and office development at Roanoke-Blacksburg Airport (ROA), part of Signature’s 2024 bid to continue serving Roanoke-Blacksburg Airport, has now broken ground.
The project will add a 22,000-square-foot hangar with an attached 3,000-square-foot office facility and a 14-bay parking lot, accommodating a broad range of modern business aircraft, including the tallest generation of new jets entering service today. Construction is expected to be completed in 2027.
Roanoke Regional Airport Commission President and Chief Executive Officer Mike Stewart said: “General aviation plays a key role in the economic health of our region, spurring growth through global air connectivity for the Roanoke Valley and far beyond. We’re thrilled with Signature’s commitment to building new facilities that will support the growing demand for first-class corporate aviation hangar space and services at ROA.
“Signature’s investments reflect their confidence in the future business needs of our region and will make ROA more attractive to the aircraft owners, operators, and businesses that rely on this airport.”
“Signature’s history at ROA is not just measured in years, but in the relationships, aircraft, and regional missions we have supported since the Piedmont Aviation era,” said Jim Hopkins, Senior Vice President of Airport Relations and Strategic Programs for Signature Aviation.
“This project allows us to build on that foundation with modern infrastructure that responds directly to guest and customer demand, supports the airport’s long-term goals, and reinforces our commitment to Roanoke for years to come.”
Signature’s broader ROA investment also includes the rebuilding of its fuel storage facility. In December 2025, Signature also completed installation of a self-serve avgas fuel pump,
“Every airport we serve has a distinct role in its community,” Hopkins added. “At ROA, that role includes connecting businesses, supporting private aircraft owners, and helping Virginia’s Blue Ridge remain accessible to the people and organisations that choose to invest here. We are proud to keep advancing that mission alongside the Roanoke Regional Airport Commission.”
