Private aviation terminal operator, Signature Aviation, has opened its newly constructed private aviation facility at Birmingham Airport in the UK. The new terminal provides a permanent home for Signature and a full revival of Signature Birmingham following a flood affecting its previous 1930s era terminal building.
“Signature rapidly mobilised to operate from a temporary facility immediately following the damage to our previous FBO,” said John-Angus Smith, Managing Director for Signature EMEA. “However, this opening solidifies our ongoing commitment to our customers and to Birmingham Airport as we look to the future.”
The entirely new site represents the airport’s newest FBO facility, featuring a 222 sq.m. building complete with a passenger lounge, refreshment area and a passenger security screening checkpoint. Pilots are also well catered for with their own lounge, and there is an electric vehicle charging station.
“The newly built FBO in Birmingham reflects the resilience of our team and the importance of this location within our EMEA network,” shared Daniel Myles, Signature Aviation Area Director UK. “General aviation continues to be a commercial driver to both the airport and Birmingham City and we look forward to greeting attendees of the upcoming Commonwealth Games and Women’s UEFA Football Championship this summer.”
