Signature Flight Support, which operates more than 100 FBOs worldwide, has announced that it will assist corporate flight departments and charter operators in gaining access to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C. At Signature's booth (No. 3257) here at the show, aircraft operators will be able to complete the DCA Access Standard Security Program (DASSP) application with the help of Signature representatives, who will provide information about implementing DASSP.
Also here at the show, Signature is launching its iFBO iPhone app, which provides customers with access to flight-planning and service information. The app allows users to calculate fuel and handling costs for a particular location, aircraft make and model and fuel uplift, for both avgas and jet-A. There's also a locations database that details FBO amenities and services and a function that lets users add any location to a favorites list for easy access.
In other Signature news, the company has appointed Tad Dixon as tenant and hangar sales manager. Dixon will be based at Signature's Orlando, Fla., headquarters and will be responsible for supporting tenant office and hangar sales agreements for the Signature FBO network.

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.

New developments at airports including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.

All services and permits must now be coordinated with the airport teamAircraft operators heading to the Dominican Republic’s Punta Cana International Airport (MDPC) should note there have been changes implemented which affect general aviation ground handling. According to Universal Aviation, third-party ground handlers are no longer allowed to operate on the field, with all services such as pre-arrival coordination, on-site coordination, meet-and-greet services, and support within airport facilities now arranged directly with the airport’s internal team. This marks a significant change to the planning process for those operators who previously worked with a preferred handler, as they must now coordinate permits, services, and payments directly with airport owner Corporación Aeroportuaria del Este, S.A.  Universal noted that the transition began on May 1 with the closure of the airport’s dedicated FBO and the relocation of general aviation operations to the VIP terminal. It added that operators should confirm payment methods in advance of arrival at (MDPC), along with updating their scheduling and dispatch procedures For operators who prefer a traditional general aviation handling environment, Universal suggests La Romana International Airport (MDLR)—less than an hour by car from Punta Cana—which has a private aviation terminal housing three FBOs.
