Signature Flight Support has launched this morning its iFBO, a new iPhone application to provide its customers with handheld access to key flight planning and service information.
Earlier this year, Signature - which operates the world's largest FBO chain - launched the mobile version of its website leading to a dramatic increase in the use of handheld devices accessing its website. The free iFBO App can be downloaded from Apple's iTunes store for the iPhone and iPad.
iFBO includes three key functionalities: a fuel calculator, a Signature locations database and a favorites section. The fuel calculator allows the user to calculate the fuel and handling costs at a particular location, for a specific aircraft make, model and fuel uplift, and for both AvGas and JetA. The locations database provides customers with detailed FBO information including amenities, services offered, airport map, and local points of interest. The favorites function allows the user to mark any location and add it to their favorites list for easy and convenient access.
Speaking at the show this morning, Signature chief commercial officer David Best said: "Our customers are constantly on the move and the iFBO iPhone application allows us to provide our customers with all the information they need regarding Signature's global network of FBOs, no matter where they are. More features and functions will be added in the near future as we continue to meet their needs."
