SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — Signature Flight Support has purchased the only self-service 100LL facility at the Santa Barbara Airport (KSBA).
The facility, expected to be available to customers in the coming weeks, will offer general aviation pilots the option to refuel their own aircraft.
Self-service customers receive complimentary parking on Signature’s transient ramp for the day and pedestrian access to and from the Airport Operations Area (AOA) via Signature’s FBO facilities.
Full-service customers will continue to receive additional benefits, such as the use of a crew car use and Signature TailWins rewards.
Signature also provides self-serve avgas at 14 locations within its North American network: Asheville, N.C. (AVL), Broomfield, Colorado (BJC), Frederick, Maryland (FDK), Greensboro, N.C. (GSO), Hilton Head, S.C. (HXD), Lafayette, Louisiana (LFT), Rochester, Minnesota (RST), Santa Fe, N.M .(SFE), Trenton, N.J. (TTN), West Palm Beach, Florida (F45), Winston-Salem, N.C., (INT), Waukegan, Illinois (UGN) and Williston, N.D. (ISN).
Signature and Atlantic are the Fbos at SBA. Have been for quite awhile. No one ever flys to SBA for the cheap fuel.
If there is transient parking available besides at those two, I guess I am ignorant.
MAG put in a self serve tank a couple of years ago. My impression was the locals could gas up on field instead of Santa Paula, nearby and very reasonable.
If this article means that Signature bought out MAG, the competition, then it may not be really great news .
Ya……..Sounds Great until you see the price of more that $6.00 a gallon.
Excellent….appreciate the effort to support the users and the airport.
Respectfully, you are naive to support Signature. They rape GA and the KSNA eviction of Signature supports that.
If Signature follows it’s usual practice of gouging, all that you will see from this change of ownership is higher fuel price.
agree
Sounds like great news!
