Signature Aviation is growing its footprint in Costa Rica.

The FBO chain announced Thursday that it will offer service at Juan Santamaria International Airport (MROC) and Tobias Bolanos International Airport (MRPV), both of which serve San José. Services at the two new locations include coverage for all permitted aircraft types, including business jets, cargo, military, and transport category flights, the company said.

Signature also entered an exclusive partnership with Aerologística, which it described as the leading aviation services provider in the country. The deal will help facilitate Signature’s entry into Costa Rica, officials said.

“Expanding our presence in Costa Rica is a natural extension of Signature’s mission to elevate every moment of the guest journey,” Signature chief operating officer Derek DeCross said in a news release. “By adding San José and Pavas to our global network and partnering with Aerologística, we’re combining Signature’s world-class service standards with trusted local expertise to ensure a seamless, safe, and exceptional experience for every guest.”

Earlier this month, Signature announced its first location in Costa Rica at Guanacaste Airport (MRLB) in Liberia. The company plans to build and operate a new general and business aviation terminal at Guanacaste. The facility is expected to open later this year.

Signature is the world’s largest FBO chain. Much of its network is concentrated in the U.S. and Canada, but it also has locations in Central and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, South Africa, and Hong Kong.
