Airshare, Signature Aviation enter nationwide partnership

On Wednesday, private aviation company Airshare announced it had entered into a nationwide FBO service agreement with Signature Aviation. With the nationwide partnership, Signature will provide Airshare customers with its premier aviation hospitality services at roughly 120 locations. After acquiring the Wheels Up aircraft management business in September 2023, Airshare has become one of the largest fleet operators in the nation. The aircraft management and charter services are offered around the country and the Airshare Fractional Program has recently expanded into a new region. The growing Fractional Program began offering fractional ownership and jet cards in many new states, including Florida, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Ohio, Georgia and Arkansas. The company's fleet is now approaching 150 aircraft and Airshare was actively seeking a new partnership to utilize the scale and expertise of a national FBO network while ensuring that all customers would consistently receive an exceptional experience wherever they are flying. "Partnering with Signature Aviation was a natural decision for Airshare, as we have already been working with them for several years and felt strongly that we share similar values," Airshare President and CEO John Owen said. "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." During this process, Signature has distinguished its network as an ideal partner to support Airshare's growth. With the largest network of private aviation terminals in the world, Signature is primed to provide a modern and exceptional experience built on connections to its customers. The partnership will provide Airshare and Signature with a unique opportunity to boost private aviation hospitality and shared experience in acquisitions, growth and a steady commitment to safety and operational excellence. "The updated partnership between Signature Aviation and Airshare builds on a shared commitment to creating exceptional guest experiences," said Clarissa Sebastian, senior VP of 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."
