Signature Aviation is instituting a mandatory reservation policy for all transient aircraft at all four of its locations at business aviation hub Teterboro Airport (KTEB) in New Jersey, effective February 1. It said the move will better meet its guest needs, streamline operations, and reduce gridlock.

According to the FBO mega-chain, all transient aircraft operators at KTEB will need to make a reservation prior to arrival or departure either through Signature’s online reservation system or by calling its guest experience team.

The company stressed that while reservations are now required for its KTEB locations, there is no reservation fee, provided the operator makes a reservation six or more hours before arrival or departure times. Any landing or departure without that notification will be assessed a “no reservation” penalty fee ranging from $252 for a piston single up to $1,700 for a large-cabin jet.

Signature noted the advance notification will allow it to prepare more effectively, thus reducing taxi time and possible service delays.
