Signature Flight Support announces commercial agreement with Aviapartner at Nice Airport, France

Signature Flight Support announced today that it has reached agreement with Aviapartner to jointly develop the fixed base operations for private and business aviation at Nice Airport (NCE), France. Under the agreement, both parties will develop the current ramp services for business and general aviation aircraft under license from the airport to enhance levels of customer services and passenger assistance.

The operation will be branded Signature Flight Support/AviaPartner and will be developed to meet Signature operating and service standards. Aviapartner will continue to provide separate commercial passenger and ramp handling services in Nice outside this arrangement.

Commenting on the announcement, Signature Flight Support President S. Michael Scheeringa said, "We are delighted with the opportunity to enhance our international customer offering through our new relationship with Aviapartner. Nice Airport is the fourth busiest airport in Europe for general aviation and this important location further strengthens our network position as the leading provider of FBO services around the world."

Aviapartner's CEO Laurent Levaux said, "We are very pleased with the Signature Flight Support partnership which could be a potential framework for further private and business aviation opportunities throughout Europe."
