"We're as committed and excited as ever to work closely with San Jose and its leadership, along with airport management, to ensure our $82 million investment in San Jose comes to fruition."

Signature Flight Support received approval last month to build 270,000 square feet of hangar space on the airport's west side, most of which would be leased by a company that manages the private aircraft of Google's Eric Schmit, Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
