Luxivair SBD at San Bernardino International Airport is entering the fall with significant momentum, following 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 fixed base operator will highlight this growth at the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), scheduled for October 20–22 in Las Vegas. Attendees are invited to visit Booth 3505 in the West Hall to learn why a growing number of operators are choosing Luxivair SBD as their gateway to Southern California.
The implications of this growth extend beyond a single facility. It signals a broader shift in business aviation, where operators are increasingly seeking alternatives to congested and costly FBOs in the Los Angeles area. Located just 60 miles from Los Angeles and minutes from major interstates, Luxivair SBD offers a combination of convenience and cost-effectiveness that is proving attractive to businesses that value time and efficiency. "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."
The FBO's digital presence has also been enhanced to better serve schedulers, dispatchers, pilots, and passengers. The website LuxivairSBD.com provides 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 streamlined approach reflects a growing expectation in business aviation for transparent, readily available data that supports operational decision-making.
Luxivair SBD positions itself as a five-star experience, featuring an airy two-story atrium lobby, travertine floors, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and sweeping views of the San Bernardino Mountains. Amenities include an advanced conference room, flight planning room, crew lounge, exercise room, and theater with stadium seating. The full-service business complex also offers 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, and on-field MRO businesses enable aircraft to operate at peak performance. Fuel and services are competitively priced, with no facility fee.
For the business aviation industry, Luxivair SBD's performance suggests that demand for efficient, well-equipped regional FBOs is rising as operators look to optimize costs and time. The upcoming NBAA-BACE appearance will provide a platform to demonstrate how the FBO's investments in infrastructure and service are paying off, potentially influencing where operators choose to base their aircraft and route their flights in Southern California.
