Private aviation terminal network Signature Aviation is adding two further destinations in Costa Rica for 2026 along with an exclusive partnership with aircraft handler Aerologistica, Costa Rica's leading aviation services provider and the strategic local partner supporting Signature's entry and expansion in the country.

Beginning immediately, Signature's locally based team members, in coordination with Aerologistica, will offer their service at San José Juan Santamaria International airport and San Jose Tobias Bolanos International airport. Services at these locations will include coverage for all permitted aircraft types ranging from business jets to cargo, military and transport category aircraft, ensuring every guest receives Signature's hallmark safety, service and hospitality experience.

“Expanding our presence in Costa Rica is a natural extension of Signature's mission to elevate every moment of the guest journey,” says Derek DeCross, chief commercial officer of Signature Aviation. “By adding San José and Pavas to our global network and partnering with Aerologistica, we're combining Signature's world-class service standards with trusted local expertise to ensure a seamless, safe and exceptional experience for every guest.”

“Our partnership with Signature Aviation marks a defining moment for Aerologistica,” adds Juan Portela, chief executive officer, Aerologistica. “Signature's leading guest experience programmes and extensive network of operator relationships are now enabling our organisation to evolve from a high-end local provider of services throughout Costa Rica to a strategic partner with a global platform. We look forward to continuing to serve the same high standards, consistency and excellence for which the Signature network is already recognised.”

Founded in the capital San José, Aerologistica has a long-standing reputation of distinction in airline and general aviation flight support, airside handling and operational logistics across Central America.

The news follows Signature's initial announcement of expansion into Costa Rica with the planned construction and operation of essential support and hospitality services for a new general and business aviation terminal at Guanacaste/ Daniel Oduber Quiros International airport in Liberia, Costa Rica, which will open in 2026.

Signature's launch in Costa Rica is contributing to the economic growth of the country's aviation sector, hiring local staff, amplifying established aviation businesses and investing in long-term community engagement projects through Signature Serves, the company's global initiative to give back to the communities in which it operates.
