Sixt partners with Signature Aviation, focus on Europe

The partnership launches with 31 locations across Europe and select North American locations, including London Heathrow, Venice, Paris Le Bourget, Munich and Geneva.

Car rental firm Sixt has partnered with Signature Aviation, covering more than 30 of the FBO chain’s locations across Europe. 

With a focus on “seamless transition” from air to ground, vehicle reservations will be coordinated primarily through Signature Aviation. At participating locations, SIXT will deliver vehicles to the respective terminal or airport, with Signature managing the final handover.

Vinzenz Pflanz, chief business officer at SIXT, said: “Partnering with Signature Aviation expands our international presence within the private aviation sector. By introducing our premium mobility services into Signature’s European network, we are strengthening our position in key markets and enhancing our offering for customers who value high service standards.”

Guests will experience ramp-side vehicle delivery where permitted, access to Sixt’s premium fleet including luxury sedans and SUVs, as well as long-term and flexible vehicle programmes through its subscription programme Sixt+. The offering also includes one-way rentals between private aviation terminals and commercial airports.

Rick Elieson, senior VP, Commercial Strategy & Guest Experience, Signature Aviation, said: “Our guests expect a consistent, high-quality experience at every touchpoint of their journey. By aligning our European network of private aviation terminals with Sixt’s premium rental services, we are enhancing the continuity between air and ground travel. This partnership strengthens our ability to provide reliable, service-driven solutions that meet the expectations of private aviation guests in EMEA.”
