Jet Aviation has launched a new affiliate program for its global FBO network, naming the Jet Center at Santa Fe, which shares the flight support business at the New Mexico airport with Signature Flight Support, as its first alliance member. The agreement is similar in scope to Signature’s Signature selec program, under which independent FBOs receive network benefits—in essence becoming part of the chain’s network.

For Jet Aviation, which operates seven FBOs in the U.S., an affiliate such as Jet Center at Santa Fe expands its footprint. “[Jet Center at Santa Fe's] exceptional attention to detail and the company’s strategic airport location makes it a great alliance partner to the Jet Aviation global FBO network,” noted John Langevin, vice president of North American FBO operations for the General Dynamics subsidiary .

According to a Jet Aviation spokesman, the company expects to announce further expansion of the program in the coming months.
