Signature Aviation unveiled its newly built facility at Key West International Airport (EYW) Tuesday, March 12, with a private ribbon-cutting ceremony. The 4,500-square-foot facility provides more than three times the space of Signature’s previous facility at EYW, delivering extra accommodations for expanded demand.

An elevated main terminal alongside a second-story patio provides guests an opportunity to enjoy the scenic views of Key West. A pilot’s lounge and extra spaces for business or entertaining accompany a café and rooms for pilots' rest and relaxation. Signature officials tout the new facility as delivering a mix of modern design and enriched amenities in one of Florida’s most popular travel destinations. The goal was to create an environment that embodies Signature’s innovative approach to creating precise, safe, and exceptional experiences.

“The timeless appeal of Key West starts the moment that a passenger steps off the plane, and Signature is delighted to be a part of that experience,” expressed Tony Lefebvre, Chief Executive Officer of Signature Aviation. “The new design, amenities, and expanded space create the perfect environment for our team members to deliver a warm and inviting experience for every guest that captures the spirit of this vibrant community."

Signature’s peak times of the year in Key West include the Race World Offshore World Championship boat races in October and the New Year’s holiday. At these times, about 125 private planes park overnight, accompanied by traffic from arrivals, drop offs and pickups by other aircraft.

“We appreciate the talent and reach Signature brings to our partnership as we continue to develop this airport and make it better for the flying public,” said Richard Strickland, Executive Director of Airports.

In addition to its customers, Signature pumps about a million gallons of fuel per month to the airlines at EYW. It has also added two new 18,000-gallon fuel tanks for extra storage and fueling in the event of a hurricane.

Signature Aviation locations are home to essential support services for business and private aviation, including refueling, hangarage, maintenance, repair and overhaul, and a variety of other amenities. Signature has called Key West home since 2016 when it acquired Landmark Aviation. Signature is the world's largest network of Fixed Base Operations (FBOs) and serves 27 countries at more than 200 locations across five continents. It is headquartered in Orlando, Florida.
