Luxivair SBD traffic climbs as FBO sets record year
Double-digit corporate growth and rising international traffic strengthened San Bernardino’s position as a viable alternative to congested southern California airports.
Facilities at the FBO include conference and flight planning rooms, crew amenities and an onsite US Customs capability, supported by on-field MRO services and competitively priced fuel without facility fees.

Luxivair SBD recorded its busiest year since opening in 2013, with corporate aircraft activity at San Bernardino International Airport rising 22% in 2025 and international flights increasing 9.7%.

The growth reflects sustained demand for an alternative to more congested southern California airports, a dynamic expected to intensify as major sporting events drive additional traffic into the region this summer. Luxivair SBD will present this performance at the 2026 NBAA Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference in Cleveland.

Located 60 miles from Los Angeles, the FBO combines accessibility with cost-efficiency, supported by a full-service offering designed for business aviation operators.

“2025 was the busiest year since the FBO opened its doors in 2013,” says Mark Gibbs, director of aviation at San Bernardino International Airport. “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.”

“Schedulers and dispatchers are the strategic backbone of every successful flight department,” adds Wendy McConaughey, manager of Luxivair SBD. “We welcome business aviation professionals, pilots, general aviation owners and other decision-makers to stop by booth 751 to discover how they can arrive like a champion at Luxivair SBD.”
