Luxivair SBD at San Bernardino International airport in California has celebrated its 10th year in business. The FBO is exhibiting at the 2024 NBAA Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference.

Just 60 miles from Los Angeles and minutes from major interstates, Luxivair SBD pairs convenience and cost-effectiveness with elegance and efficiency. "The FBO's continued growth demonstrates the high demand for an uncrowded alternative in congested and costly southern California," says director of aviation Mark Gibbs. "We are also dedicated to continuous improvements that ensure our customers always enjoy a first-class experience."

"In the last 10 years, Luxivair SBD has mastered the art of arrivals, ensuring the success of our customers," adds FBO manager Wendy Bechtel. "We welcome all general aviation owners, schedulers and dispatchers, pilots and other decision-makers to visit our booth and discover how Luxivair SBD can enhance their travel experience in southern California."

The company claims to be an alternative to the congested and costly FBOs in southern California, and has an airy two-storey 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 a theatre with stadium seating; the full-service business complex additionally provides total ground support, concierge professionals, premium courtesy vehicles, traditional and hydrogen car rentals, and hotel shuttles. Onsite US Customs and Immigration eases international flights into southern California, and on-field MRO businesses enable aircraft to operate at peak performance. Fuel and services are always competitively priced and there's never a facility fee.
