Luxivair SBD Sees Significant Corporate Aviation Growth in Southern California

Luxivair SBD has reported substantial growth in corporate aviation activity, highlighting the strategic advantages of its San Bernardino International Airport location. The fixed-base operator (FBO) recorded 9,890 corporate flights in 2024, representing a 10% increase from the previous year and an impressive 114% growth over five years.

The facility's success stems from its unique positioning just 60 miles from Los Angeles and proximity to major interstates. Mark Gibbs, the Airport's Director of Aviation, emphasized the location's benefits, noting the wide-open skies and ease of avoiding congested airspace typical of the region.

Wendy McConaughey, Luxivair SBD's Manager, attributes the growth to the facility's customer-focused approach. The FBO offers a comprehensive suite of services, including an expansive two-story facility with amenities such as a conference room, crew lounge, exercise room, and an onsite U.S. Customs and Immigration clearance.

The company plans to showcase its services at the 2025 NBAA Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference in New Orleans, inviting aviation professionals to explore their offerings. The conference represents an opportunity for Luxivair SBD to further highlight its competitive pricing, lack of facility fees, and premium ground support services.

With its strategic location, comprehensive amenities, and competitive pricing, Luxivair SBD is positioning itself as a transformative player in Southern California's corporate aviation landscape. The significant growth indicates a shift in how corporate flight departments and general aviation pilots are approaching regional air travel, prioritizing convenience, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
