Luxivair SBD

What Luxivair SBD does

Luxivair SBD is a Fixed Base Operator (FBO) located at San Bernardino International Airport (SBD), approximately 60 miles east of Los Angeles. Founded in 2013 under the San Bernardino International Airport Authority (SBIAA), the FBO serves corporate aviation operators, private aircraft owners, general aviation pilots, and international travelers entering the United States through Southern California. Its core offering combines ground handling, fueling, concierge, on-site U.S. Customs and Border Protection services, aircraft parking and hangar storage, and a 12,000-square-foot executive terminal with hotel-grade amenities (two-story glass atrium, travertine flooring, marble restrooms, executive conference rooms, pilot's lounge with snooze rooms, stadium-seating theater, fitness room, and outdoor lounge). The facility sits on a 10,000-foot runway capable of handling aircraft up to an Airbus A380, a strategic alternative to congested LA-area airports.

The technology stack is centered on FBO operations infrastructure rather than software: the QT Pod M4000 self-serve fueling terminal (the first in California) enables faster transactions and accepts EPIC and other fuel cards, while the flight planning room provides high-speed internet, modern computers, and weather briefing tools. Revenue is generated through a transactional, pay-as-you-go model including Jet-A and Avgas fuel sales (with volume discounts up to $1.00/gallon at 10,000 gallons), per-movement aircraft parking (waivable with minimum fuel purchases), hourly ground support equipment fees (loaders, GPUs, air start, tugs), conference room rentals, and concierge services. No facility fees are charged. The FBO operates with 1-10 employees, indicating a lean operation that leverages partnerships with Hertz Private Aviation, Avis, Titan Aviation Fuels, and on-site Part 145 MRO businesses to deliver a comprehensive customer experience.
