Signature Aviation has completed its purchase of Meridian, with its FBOs at Teterboro airport in New Jersey and Hayward Executive airport in California. This transaction will give Signature more opportunities to invest in the field and promote aviation services; an expanded network of FBO and hangar locations; a strengthened commitment to provide an exceptional customer experience; and greater opportunities for team members of both companies.

"We’re excited to welcome Meridian into the Signature family, given our shared mission to operate safely and provide excellent customer service and a great team member experience," says CEO Tony Lefebvre. "Meridian has a phenomenal history of exceptional service that we look forward to preserving and leveraging across our network."

"We embarked on this journey having a strong sense of which company would best build on the incredible legacy we’ve created, delivering award-winning service to our customers and treating our team members like family," adds Meridian CEO Ken Forester. "Signature is best positioned to do just that through its great network, providing even more services to our customers and opportunities to our people."

The transaction was completed on 1 January, 2024 and Meridian’s Teterboro and Hayward bases joined Signature’s global network of more than 200 locations. Over the coming months, both teams will be working on a seamless transition that includes incorporating best practices from both companies, enhancing site plans, updating branding and integrating Meridian’s team members into Signature’s family.
