Luxivair SBD, the fixed-base operator at San Bernardino International Airport, is entering the fall with significant momentum after recording 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 this growth at the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), scheduled for October 20–22 in Las Vegas. Attendees can visit Booth 3505 in the West Hall to learn why a growing number of operators are choosing Luxivair SBD as their gateway to the region.
The implications of this announcement extend beyond a single FBO's success. Luxivair SBD's performance suggests a broader shift in Southern California's business aviation landscape, where operators are increasingly seeking alternatives to congested and costly facilities in the Los Angeles area. Located just 60 miles from Los Angeles and minutes from major interstates, Luxivair SBD pairs convenience and cost-effectiveness with elegance, efficiency, and elevated service. "The significant increase in corporate aircraft activity, along with strong growth in international traffic, underscores how effectively Luxivair SBD continues to meet the evolving needs of business aviation in Southern California," says Mark Gibbs, the Airport's Director of Aviation. "Businesses that fly through Luxivair understand that time is their most valuable asset—and our FBO helps them maximize it."
For schedulers, dispatchers, pilots, and passengers, the FBO's digital presence has also been enhanced. The website LuxivairSBD.com offers a streamlined layout and easy navigation, providing quick access to essential information—including fuel pricing, real-time weather updates, ground support services, and U.S. Customs clearance—helping decision-makers plan more efficiently. This digital upgrade reflects a growing emphasis on operational efficiency in business aviation, where time savings on the ground translate directly into cost savings and schedule reliability.
Luxivair SBD's physical facilities further differentiate it from competitors. An airy two-story atrium lobby, travertine floors, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and sweeping views of the San Bernardino Mountains welcome arrivals. Amenities include an advanced conference room, flight planning room, crew lounge, exercise room, and theater with stadium seating. The full-service business complex additionally 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, and on-field MRO businesses enable aircraft to operate at peak performance. Fuel and services are always competitively priced, and there's never a facility fee.
As business aviation continues to evolve, Luxivair SBD's record growth and its presence at NBAA-BACE signal that the region's operators are rewarding facilities that combine convenience, cost-effectiveness, and premium service. The FBO's momentum highlights how secondary airports can effectively compete with major metropolitan hubs by addressing the practical needs of business aviation users.
