Flew in on a Sunday in an Archer to see the Science Museum. We were met and marshalled to a spot by a lineman who was both friendly and helpful. He and the desk staff gave us excellent directions to the museum, as well as a nice clean car to get us there. Yes, the fuel is expensive, but you don't have to buy a large amount to waive the fees that are part of ANY big city airport, and there was no attitude about being in a small GA A/C. Factor in the free ground transportation and the whole thing was a bargain! We were treated well by Signature and I will certainly return to KDET again. Thanks to everyone who helped us!

Blew a tire out on landing the day Bob Smith had such a bad day. Janet & David of Signature were fantastic! They towed plane, called mechanic, saved our day! Ops Mgr, ATC & Signature were simply superb. True professionals all! Sorry Bob, they were probably assisting me.

In today in our Turbo Commander N900NE and had 'best of' service from all staff. Nice lobby area.

Signature did an excellent job with the crowd for the Stanley Cup final game on Friday the 12th. They treated our SR22 just as well as the jets. The pizza and drinks for the pilots was very much appreciated. Yes, their fuel is a little expensive and they charged a "small" ($28) fee but they earned it this day. No problem going back there. NICE JOB LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. THANK YOU!

Just came back from KDET for the "Final Four." Lots of bizjets shuttling in and out for the MSU/UConn and UNC/Nova games. Still, very helpful and friendly team at Signature for N461A!. $28 overnight fee was fair for the big weekend. Treated my guests, my Bonanza, and me very well. Facility is not "resort posh, " but not bad. Thanks, Signature!

I came here last week for a few days. OK, fuel is expensive and tie downs not free but what do you expect for an airport this close to downtown? Staff was friendly and helpful. Honestly, no complaints at all.

Landed here for a customer drop off. For the fees charged, I was expecting something much nicer. The place felt run down for Signature standards. Perhaps they need to spend some of the landing fee money on the building? I thought it was a joke when I read a previous post about having to climb over the counter to get to the weather machines; but it's really true! On the plus side, the staff is friendly and helpful. The chocolate chip cookies weren't bad either, just have you're wallet ready.

Expensive - $28 handling fee for a Mooney, plus $8 per night. Didn't have tie downs, just chalks. FS fuel price is ridiculous, used self serve across the way with success. Line crew and attendant were nice.

What a rip off Signature is! They are taking over the aviation world of FBOs, the employees are friendly but I landed there in a Lear 55 have to pay the midsize jet fee and took 150 gallons of Jet ended up costing $1600 and change! How do they get away with charging some bs facility when they are in the terminal that is paid for with taxpayers money. Typical Signature hose job as usual! Avoid them at all costs!

The Signature personnel were friendly and helpful during our 4-day visit to Detroit for the SAE Congress. In addition to providing a van to shuttle us to and from the Marriott at the Ren Center, the knowledgeable staff assisted us in locating a mechanic to examine a problem we had with our gear alarm. Yes, the handling fees are expensive, but KDET is incredibly convenient when flying into Detroit, and it would be a great loss if Signature withdrew from KDET.

Dec. 12, 2007 "DON'T LAND HERE" is what the sign should say. $6.64/gal for 100LL while most FBO's elsewhere are $4.15-4.50. To land a Cessna 172, and pick-up a passenger to fly out for lunch requires a $27.00 "Handling fee" that he can walk through the gate. The charges seem excessive, and discourage using KDET unless you have to. By the looks of the place, the word is out. Bob-PTK

Even though the fuel price was astronomical, the service was very good. The lineman was prompt and courteous and the desk staff was friendly and helpful. A shame to see the airport and surrounding area so run down, but business seems to be steady. Lots of arrivals/departures during our hour there.

Flew into DET from KILG and used Signature to drop off a Patient for LifeLine Pilots. I last landed there in 2005, and although some things have changed for the worse I found the staff friendly, and helpful. They helped unload my patient and carried the bags in for us. They quickly serviced my plane for my quick hop back to my home base in Cleveland. I would use them again. (Cessna 182)

I had a great experience at Signature with my 172. Arrived late afternoon. Parked on the end behind some cones (before parking attendant got outside). Ground control asked me to move to other end of ramp for a VIP arrival. No problem. I joked with the guys on shutdown about my VIP status & we got along just great. They have inherited the old terminal building with lots of space. My 14 gal fuel purchase waived the fees & fuel was in line with service at this kind of airport. Overnighter and departed next day. The pilot lounge is kinda charming. Nobody wanders in accidentally to see what your doing.

Don't expect ANY service here unless you have a Hawker. Airport is a dump, service is lazy, slow and everyone who walks through the doors is considered more of an inconvenience to the staff than an actual customer.
