Pickup & curbside instructions
Where to meet your chauffeur at Signature Aviation — Oakland (OAK)
Signature OAK supports ramp-side pickups for domestic ops and lobby pickups for CBP arrivals. OAK's north-side FBO complex has a relaxed curb policy compared with SFO.
Meeting point
Clients meet the chauffeur planeside for domestic arrivals when Signature authorizes ramp access, or inside the Signature lobby on Earhart Road when the aircraft parks on a restricted spot.
Vehicle staging
Chauffeur arrives 15 minutes early, parks in the Signature customer lot on Earhart Rd, checks in with the CSR, and waits in the lobby or at the ramp-gate holding area per the FBO's direction.
Baggage handoff
Line crew off-loads aircraft and stages bags at the ramp gate or curb bag room. Chauffeur confirms bag count against the crew's manifest before departure — critical for team travel and NBA charter operations that stage through OAK.
Ground-handling constraints
- Ramp access is by Signature line-crew escort; chauffeur follows the FBO truck across the movement area.
- OAK curbside is more permissive than SFO — vehicles may hold at the Signature curb during active loading without a hard time cap, but must not block the FBO fire lane.
- International arrivals clear CBP inside the Signature customs area on the north side of the building; passengers are released to the chauffeur only after officer clearance.
