Boston Logan International Airport finally has an FBO befitting the gateway to New England, after the June 21 grand opening of Signature Flight Support’s newest facility. Signature’s parent company, BBA Aviation, spent $13 million to build the new FBO, and part of the cost went to meeting “green” (environmentally friendly) standards required by the airport’s operator, Massport. Some of the green effort included architecturally designed land- scaping for the street-side entry area, including native flora (also mandated by Massport) and features that make for a welcoming oasis in the middle of all that airport concrete.

From the air side, the new Signature FBO stands tall, with an imposing glass-fronted two-story atrium-lobby protected inside by horizontal sunshades. The spacious ramp in front of the FBO means that Signature customers can park close to the FBO, and now there is plenty of room nearby on all but the busiest of days.
