Signature Aviation Relaunches TAILWINS Pilot Rewards Program With Up to 4X Jet A Points, New Tiers
Why It MattersFBO networks are turning fuel purchases into loyalty currency, tying pilot choice of terminal to points and tier status while giving SAF uptake an added financial incentive.
Signature Aviation, which describes itself as the world's largest network of private aviation terminals, announced on October 20, 2026 an enhanced version of TAILWINS by Signature, a rewards program for eligible U.S.-based pilots. The update adds more ways to earn points, thousands of new redemption options and a tiered structure.
Members can earn up to 4X points on Jet A purchases and up to 5X on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) through qualifying activities, including flying for a BRAVO operator, using Signature Pay and making reservations directly through Signature's website. AVGAS pilots earn 10 points per gallon purchased. Further points are available through promotions and loyalty activities. The rewards catalog now spans travel, technology, home, outdoors, charitable giving, Signature merchandise, Signature account credits, and gift and prepaid cards.
The program introduces three membership tiers: Aviator, Ace and Legend. Members earn Stars through everyday interactions with Signature to move up, and higher tiers unlock enhanced redemption value, extended point expiration windows, priority benefits and exclusive offers, with up to 30% more value from points. TAILWINS is free to join and available only to eligible U.S.-based pilots. Existing members transition automatically with their current points balance intact, while new members can enroll online and begin earning immediately. Members can track point balances, Stars accumulation and tier progression through a refreshed digital experience in Signature Vision.
Derek DeCross, Chief Commercial Officer of Signature Aviation, said the company wants to make choosing Signature more rewarding for pilots. Signature operates over 200 locations in 27 countries across five continents and says it is the largest distributor of SAF.
