Luxivair SBD, a fixed-base operator located at San Bernardino International Airport, has reported a notable increase in corporate aviation activity, with 9,890 corporate flights recorded in 2024. This marks a 10% rise from the previous year and an impressive 114% growth over the past five years. The facility's strategic location, just 60 miles from Los Angeles, offers a cost-effective and convenient alternative to the region's more congested airports.
Mark Gibbs, the Airport's Director of Aviation, pointed out the facility's strategic benefits, including its ability to provide wide-open skies and easy access, avoiding the crowded airspace typical of the area. Luxivair SBD is set to present its achievements at the 2025 NBAA Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference in New Orleans, an event that Wendy McConaughey, Luxivair SBD's Manager, believes aligns with the company's approach to aviation services.
The Luxivair SBD facility boasts a two-story atrium with travertine floors and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer stunning views of the San Bernardino Mountains. It is equipped with a range of amenities such as an advanced conference room, flight planning area, crew lounge, exercise room, and a theater with stadium seating. The FBO provides comprehensive services including ground support, concierge professionals, premium courtesy vehicles, and car rentals, including hydrogen vehicles. Additionally, on-site U.S. Customs and Immigration facilities make it particularly appealing for international flights, while on-field maintenance, repair, and overhaul businesses ensure aircraft are kept in optimal condition.
With competitive pricing and no facility fees, Luxivair SBD continues to establish itself as a preferred choice for corporate aviation, offering a viable alternative to the more congested facilities in Southern California. The consistent growth in its operations underscores the facility's rising prominence in the corporate aviation industry.
