Signature Aviation has expanded its footprint at Florida’s Palm Beach International Airport (KPBI) with the opening of a second general-use terminal on the field. Known as Signature PBI North, the new 15,700-sq-ft facility includes multiple guest lounges, a dedicated family lounge, café, crew lounge with showers and amenities bar, and conference rooms. It also has its own fuel farm.
The FBO chain’s previously existing facility at KPBI, now called Signature South, offers hangar space and more than half a million sq ft of ramp. Signature’s Status and Tail Wins loyalty programs are available at both locations at the airport.
