Great news for general aviation pilots! Thanks to AOPA’s advocacy, Signature Flight Support has announced a new policy capping handling fees for piston singles and twins at select locations. Even better, these fees will be waived entirely with a qualifying fuel purchase.
This change follows ongoing efforts from AOPA, which has pushed for more transparency and fairness in FBO pricing. Many GA pilots have long voiced concerns about high handling fees at major FBOs, often making it cost-prohibitive to stop at certain locations. By capping and waiving fees, Signature is taking a step in the right direction toward making its network more accessible for GA pilots.
If you operate a piston single or twin, check with your destination Signature FBO to see how these changes affect your next stop. As always, it's best to confirm fuel purchase requirements in advance.
