Signature Elite Class, a division of FBO network Signature Flight Support, is expanding the availability of its commercial airline passenger transfer services to the FBOs of Caribbean-based aviation services provider IAM Jet Centre. The agreement to assume control of IAM's Trident Suite and St. George's Suite products, part of Signature's purchase of the company's five private aviation FBO locations, establishes Signature Elite Class as a sizeable provider of VIP airside transfer services for passengers of commercial flights.

Existing Signature Elite Class locations at London Gatwick airport, London Luton airport and Antigua's V.C. Bird International airport will be supplemented by IAM's services at Grantley Adams International airport in Barbados, Maurice Bishop International airport in Grenada and Terrance B. Lettsome International airport in the British Virgin Islands. The Signature Elite Class programme is also planned to grow to the Hewanorra International airport in Saint Lucia and the Sangster International airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica in 2020.

The Signature Elite Class VIP programme bypasses the traditional airport terminal, providing transfers to arriving and departing commercial airline passengers through private-use lounges and business aviation facilities. The service offers dedicated security, customs and immigration, baggage check-in and discrete, effortless car transfers to and from the lounge, direct to the aircraft.

“The addition of four IAM Jet Centre locations to our growing Signature Elite Class network is representative of our commitment to the growth of our commercial airline traveller transfer programmes,” says Paige Turbeville, business director, Signature Elite Class. “IAM's pioneering endeavours in the field of VIP airline services has established the model for the industry, and we look forward to accelerating our expansion plans for Elite Class with its expertise.”
