Signature Aviation announced a new fee structure aimed at enhancing transparency and reducing costs for piston aircraft operators, following advocacy from the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA). Effective immediately, single piston operators will face a maximum handling fee of $30, which can be waived with the purchase of 10 gallons of 100LL fuel. Twin piston operators will incur a $60 handling fee, waived with a 30-gallon purchase.&nbsp;
These changes represent up to a 50% reduction from previous rates, according to the company. The updates will be implemented across Signature’s U.S. network, with the exception of 16 FBOs located at major international airports. In addition, Signature plans to expand its 100LL self-service fueling options, offering fuel at an average of $1 less per gallon than full service.&nbsp;
“I am pleased Signature has heard us and is taking steps to embrace the general aviation community,” said AOPA president and CEO Mark Baker.&nbsp;
Signature will continue to charge a non-waivable average $8 infrastructure fee and pilots will continue to be responsible for any fees charged by the airports such as landing fees.

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
