Luxivair SBD, the fixed-base operator at San Bernardino International Airport, is heading into 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 company will showcase 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.
The strong performance underscores a broader shift in Southern California's business aviation landscape. As major metropolitan airports face increasing congestion and rising costs, Luxivair SBD has positioned itself as a convenient and economical alternative. Located just 60 miles from Los Angeles and minutes from major interstates, the FBO combines accessibility with premium amenities. "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," said 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 has enhanced its digital offerings through LuxivairSBD.com. The website provides quick access to fuel pricing, real-time weather updates, ground support services, and U.S. Customs clearance, enabling more efficient planning. This digital upgrade complements the on-site experience, which includes a two-story atrium lobby, travertine floors, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and views of the San Bernardino Mountains. Amenities feature an advanced conference room, flight planning room, crew lounge, exercise room, and a theater with stadium seating.
The full-service 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 arrivals, while on-field MRO businesses keep aircraft operating at peak performance. Fuel and services are competitively priced, and there is never a facility fee.
The implications for the business aviation industry are notable. Luxivair SBD's growth reflects rising demand for efficient, cost-effective alternatives to congested hubs, which can reduce delays and operational costs for operators. For the region, increased international traffic signals stronger economic ties and tourism. As the industry gathers at NBAA-BACE, Luxivair SBD's presence at Booth 3505 will highlight how smaller, well-equipped FBOs are capturing a larger share of corporate and international aviation activity. With its combination of luxury, efficiency, and strategic location, Luxivair SBD appears well-positioned to sustain its upward trajectory.
