Temp Facility Begins Operations, New Terminal & Hangar Coming 2026

Signature Aviation, operator of the world’s largest network of private aviation facilities, announced the start of operations at its newest facility at the Francis S. Gabreski Airport (KFOK) in Westhampton Beach, New York.

Until its brand-new terminal and hangar are completed in 2026, Signature will serve customers out of a custom-built short-term facility. The temporary facility was built with premium materials and finishes designed to match many of the features of the permanent terminal project.

The initial site sports 350,000 square feet of ramp space with aircraft parking access that will also serve the future terminal.

Tony Lefebvre, CEO of Signature Aviation said, “Westhampton Beach is one of the premier destinations for travelers in the Northeast US, known for its immense style and world-class hospitality. With the debut of Signature FOK, we’re proud to offer a new, elevated gateway to the area for our guests matching the heritage of the region, highlighted by our award-winning team members, service, and one-of-a-kind guest experience. Ultimately, we look forward to unveiling the final phase of the facility, which will set the bar for private travel in the Hamptons.”

The announcement by Signature represents the continued expansion at FOK after the project initially broke ground in October 2024. When the new hangar opens next year, guests can house their aircraft in the 60,000 square foot hangar that also has a fueling station. The 54,600 square foot permanent private terminal will offer other amenities including comfort areas for guests with a fireplace and café, and the second floor will have space available for offices and shops.

Signature says upcoming announcements about its network will include renovated or new facilities in Raleigh-Durham and Palm Beach.
