Signature Flight Support

at Chicago O'Hare International Airport

From Sean Franklin on 14-Feb-2008

Signature at Chicago O'Hare is the best-kept secret in aviation. Flew in on a Thursday in my Saratoga (e-CVRS arrival reservation in hand). Signature has no hangars there, but put me near an outlet to plug my Reiff heater in. Weekend $0.50 fuel discount brought the fuel down to near my home-field rates, and the fuel purchase waived the $28.00 landing fee. Parking for 3 nights at $14.91/night made this stay very easy on the budget. Arrival on rwy 28 meant a long taxi, but departing was given 32R intersection V which couldn't have been easier. I guess the only "Gotcha" is that only 4 GA reservations are available per hour, so you need to plan ahead.

Arrived on a really bad day with delays and lots of snow. The van was waiting for our passenger and was handled very well. Clara at the front counter was a delight and very friendly. When we ordered fuel, things really started going bad. ($290.00 Handling Charge, $60.30 Landing Fee, $60.33 Parking Fee and $7.32 a gallon for Jet-A) First the line crew fueled the wrong airplane. When they fueled us they didn’t, t use mats and set the hose nut and coupling on the de-ice boots. It seems to be happening more and more lately allover the country. Please USE MATS! Then when they were finished, the lineman reeled up the ground cable without unclipping it first and it banged off the gear door and left a scratch. If it were up to me, I would avoid Signature ORD whenever possible. It is not typical of other Signatures such as MSP or LAS.

Signature at O'Hare was thoroughly professional and welcoming to our C-172. Fees were $36 for security, $10.99 for landing and $10.99/night parking. The handling fee was waived with fuel. Arriving mid-week for a week's stay, they volunteered that fuel was cheaper on the weekend and offered to top-off then. After learning of Chicago Executive's (formerly Palwaukee) overnight tie-down fee of $50/night (!), it was a no-brainer to go to O'Hare. The controllers were patient and friendly. The Signature staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome amidst the many bizjets. Free shuttle to the terminal. Will be back.
 

From Bart Bartlett on 22-Feb-2007

The fees keep climbing. $36 security, $16.27 landing, $16.27/night parking, etc. $27 handling fee waived with 7 gallon fuel purchase. I flew a Piper Malibu in and was the smallest plane on the field. Signature was great. They were very helpful and GA friendly. I think they see very few prop planes, so they’re nice to you because you are the exception.
 

From Lawrence Judy on 28-Jul-2006

Signature parked and chocked the C210 near their door opposite two bizjets, but still took my passengers and I to the building in the van. Friendly, clean, new facility even though we arrived in the smallest airplane on the airport. Security screening fee: $36, landing fee: $12.50. 100LL at $4.494/gallon. If you need to go to ORD in a small plane, Signature will take care of you. (Airport: The taxi and wait to depart took over thirty minutes and stay back from RJs when they taxi into position; refuse the ORD-ONE DP if you are in a piston single, unless you can climb like a jet.)
 

From Carl Barnes on 03-Feb-2006

Arrived 2/2/06 a.m., service was excellent. Give 'em a heads up though on 122.95 when taxing in so they can marshal you in. $55 handling fee for light twin avoided by buying 30gal 100ll at $4.95/gal. $18.70 landing fee, $18.70 parking fee, $36 pax screening fee (2pax). Expensive day, but it wasn't my dime. Courtesy shuttle available to local area or blue line to downtown. 45-50 minute commute to the loop. Controllers were great, minimal hassle.
 

From Lloyd Kasakoff on 19-Dec-2005

$9.01 for landing (goes to O'hare), $9.01 for parking (goes to City), $23 handling (waived for 7 gals or more) and if picking up passengers, $31.50, also applicable if staying overnight. This for a single engine plane...
