Signature Flight Support and Imperial Oil Strike Agreement for Signature Select and Licensing Options for Esso Dealers in Canada

Signature Flight Support Canada Ltd., a BBA Aviation company, announced today that it has signed an agreement with Imperial Oil of Canada to offer all Canadian Esso aviation dealers, the option to be fully licensed Signature locations or to participate in the Signature Select affiliate FBO program.

Through this exclusive agreement with Imperial Oil, Esso aviation dealers in Canada can join Signature Select and become part of Signature Flight Support’s global network of over 115 locations.  Signature Select affiliates are supported by Signature’s global sales and marketing team and are promoted as part of the Signature network.  The network brings value to customers through seamless, personalized customer service, point-to-point coordination of handling and flight support as well as access to Signature’s custom flight support programs.  Additional value for members may be achieved through the purchasing power of the Signature network. Signature Select™ members also have access to Signature Flight Support’s state-of-the-art FBO management technology systems.

Maria Sastre, President and Chief Operating Officer noted, “The FBO industry response to our Signature Select™ affiliate program has been strong and the feedback from those already participating is very positive.  The program brings the power of the Signature Flight Support network to independent FBOs while expanding Signature’s network footprint around the globe.  For Signature, the Esso dealer network in Canada represents a network of perfect candidates for this program and we are confident that members will recognize the positive impact Signature can have on their businesses. We look forward to expanding our Canadian network further through this agreement.”
