Luxivair SBD at San Bernardino International Airport is heading into the fall of 2026 with strong momentum after recording the busiest year in its history. Corporate aircraft activity at the fixed-base operator increased 22% in 2025, while international flights rose 9.7%, and demand has remained robust 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, where attendees can visit Booth 3505 in the West Hall to learn why a growing number of operators select Luxivair SBD as their gateway to Southern California.
Located just 60 miles from Los Angeles and minutes from major interstates, Luxivair SBD combines convenience and cost-effectiveness with elegance, efficiency, and elevated service. Mark Gibbs, the Airport's Director of Aviation, attributed the surge to the FBO's ability to meet evolving industry needs. "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," Gibbs said. "Businesses that fly through Luxivair understand that time is their most valuable asset—and our FBO helps them maximize it."
The FBO has also enhanced its digital presence to better serve schedulers, dispatchers, pilots, and passengers. Its website, LuxivairSBD.com, offers a streamlined layout with quick access to essential information such as fuel pricing, real-time weather updates, ground support services, and U.S. Customs clearance, enabling decision-makers to plan more efficiently.
As an alternative to the congested and costly FBOs in Southern California, Luxivair SBD delivers a five-star experience. The facility features 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 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 the region, and on-field MRO businesses enable aircraft to operate at peak performance. Fuel and services are competitively priced, with no facility fee.
The implications of Luxivair SBD's growth extend beyond its own operations. As business aviation demand continues to rise in Southern California, the FBO's record activity signals a broader recovery and expansion in corporate and international travel. Its cost-effective, full-service model offers operators a viable alternative to more congested airports, potentially alleviating pressure on regional airspace and ground infrastructure. For businesses that rely on private aviation, Luxivair SBD's emphasis on efficiency and premium amenities could translate into time savings and operational advantages. The FBO's presence at NBAA-BACE will allow industry stakeholders to explore these benefits firsthand and assess how Luxivair SBD fits into their future travel strategies.
