Signature Flight Support has welcomed the lifting of night time flight restrictions at London Luton Airport on October 1.

The move has greatly improved access for customers departing in the late evening or arriving into Luton in the early morning hours, although Signature advises that runway maintenence at Luton on November 10, 11, 17 and 18 will result in closure between 0001L and 0530L. In addition, an upcoming restriction relating to aircraft exceeding QC1 standards, will make those aircraft ineligible for night-time slots during the summer of 2019.

Signature’s comprehensive UK and Ireland network of FBOs however offers alternative choices during these periods.

Signature’s London Biggin Hill (BQH) facility is now newly IS-BAH certified joining Signature London Luton (LTN) and Signature Nice (NCE). Signature is also in the process of certifying its Dublin (DUB) and Shannon (SNN), Ireland facilities to meet the IS-BAH criteria with plans for certifying additional locations in 2019. Signature Shannon is operating 24/7 with U.S. Customs and Border Protection Pre-Clearance making Shannon an ideal tech stop for fuel and pre-clearance into the US.

Operators are encouraged to visit the Signature website for updates on night-time access to London Luton next summer.
