Luxivair SBD, the fixed-base operator at San Bernardino International Airport, is heading into the fall with significant momentum after the busiest year in its history. Corporate aircraft activity increased 22% in 2025, while international flights rose 9.7%, and demand has remained strong through the summer of 2026. The FBO will highlight that growth at the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), held October 20–22 in Las Vegas, where attendees can visit Booth 3505 in the West Hall.
The numbers matter for Southern California's aviation landscape. As Los Angeles-area airports face persistent congestion and rising costs, Luxivair SBD positions itself as a convenient and economical alternative. Located just 60 miles from Los Angeles and minutes from major interstates, the facility offers business aviation operators a streamlined gateway to the region. Mark Gibbs, the Airport's Director of Aviation, noted that the increase in corporate and international traffic underscores how effectively Luxivair SBD meets the evolving needs of business aviation in Southern California. He added that businesses flying through Luxivair understand time is their most valuable asset, and the FBO helps them maximize it.
For schedulers, dispatchers, pilots, and passengers, the FBO's digital presence has been enhanced to support efficient planning. LuxivairSBD.com now offers a streamlined layout with quick access to fuel pricing, real-time weather updates, ground support services, and U.S. Customs clearance information. That digital upgrade aligns with the broader operational efficiency that has driven the facility's growth.
The physical experience matches the operational promise. A two-story atrium lobby with travertine floors, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and views of the San Bernardino Mountains welcomes arrivals. Amenities include an advanced conference room, flight planning room, crew lounge, exercise room, and a theater with stadium seating. The full-service business complex provides total ground support, concierge professionals, premium courtesy vehicles, traditional and hydrogen car rentals, and hotel shuttles. Onsite U.S. Customs and Immigration eases international flights into Southern California, while on-field MRO businesses keep aircraft operating at peak performance.
Competitive fuel and service pricing, with no facility fee, further distinguishes Luxivair SBD from congested and costly alternatives in the region. For the business aviation industry, the FBO's growth reflects a broader shift toward secondary airports that combine convenience, cost savings, and high-end service. As international traffic continues to rise, Luxivair SBD's ability to process customs onsite and support a range of aircraft needs could make it an increasingly important entry point for global business travel into Southern California. Operators evaluating their options for the fall and beyond may find that the combination of record activity and five-star amenities signals a reliable, efficient choice.
