Every year, American football's biggest game creates one of the busiest weekends in private aviation, sometimes even resulting in epic air-traffic jams. Luxivair SBD, the sole FBO at San Bernardino International Airport in California, has developed a winning game plan to help fans bypass the crowds arriving for the NFL championship game in Los Angeles on February 13, 2022. By landing directly at Luxivair SBD, customers can ease into southern California's notoriously crowded airspace, avoid the congestion and high costs of other area airports and kick off a super experience in style.
In the days leading up to each year's Big Game, 1,000 to 2,000 private and charter aircraft typically fly in for the event. This increase in traffic can lead to super-sized challenges: restricted aircraft parking, aircraft repositioning, diversions to other airports, long wait times, since everyone wants to depart at once, and higher costs.
"Even on an average day, the airspace of southern California ranks among the busiest in the world," says Mark Gibbs, director of aviation for San Bernardino International Airport. "Luxivair SBD is well-situated to Los Angeles, but offers customers an uncrowded travel experience, unparalleled elegance and highly attentive staff who can assist with any pre-game preparations like ground transportation or helicopter reservations."
Located approximately 75 miles from the game's location at SoFi Stadium, just 20 minutes by helicopter, Luxivair SBD provides passengers with the ultimate in flexibility to avoid overcrowded Los Angeles-area airports. With stunning facilities and amenities that rival any five-star hotel, convenient airside vehicle access and affordable aircraft parking and refuelling fees, the FBO is a highly desirable alternative to the region's congested and costly FBOs.
"Not only does Luxivair provide easy access to Game Day festivities, the FBO is a destination in itself, where customers can relax, refuel and get ready for kick-off," says Wendy Bechtel, Luxivair SBD's manager. "We invite corporate customers, charters and general aviation pilots to consider Luxivair SBD the most strategic approach to southern California."
