Hi Design to design the state of the art FBO complex for Signature Flight Support



After the successful design of Signature’s sister company BBAAviation’s head office, Hi Design was chosen for the interior design of the new Signature Flight Support £30,000,000 flagship FBO based at Luton airport. Signature Flight Support is a subsidiary of BBA Aviation with 115 global locations.

Luton airport is the main gateway for Business and general Aviation travel into London. Handling approximately 12,000 flights annually is was important that Hi Design made a lasting impression with Signature’s clients and passengers. With private conference, waiting and catering facilities, passengers will be able to work or relax at the new facility with an expansive view of the airport ramp. The new facilities designed by Hi Design’s Suki Shocker will be comprised of a 1,572 square metre passenger and FBO facilities. It will boast the latest in technologies for entertainment, communications, passenger and crew amenities and onward travel solutions.

Suki Shocker head of interior designer commented “This new, contemporary facility is designed to accommodate the needs of Signiture’s discerning customers, both passengers and crew. With private conference, waiting and catering facilities, passengers will be able to work or relax at the new facility in luxury surroundings.  We are focusing on providing a world-class travel experience both in terms of the user experience, comfort and facilities. This is a fantastic opportunity to build upon our growing reputation of designing first class environments. An airport is still a workplace and demands a very different design approach, so with this in mind I want to create an opulence setting that is as enjoyable for its customers as it is productive to the staff.”

The new construction will be built to LEED certification standards as set by the U.S.Green Building Council and will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014.
