    Luxivair SBD at San Bernardino International Airport continues to demonstrate positive momentum as a result of its commitment to providing customers with exceptional service while reducing its carbon footprint. The FBO, which has seen double-digit growth in ramp activity, recently added zero- and low-emissions vehicles and ground support equipment. Luxivair SBD will be exhibiting with EPIC Fuels in Booth #N6110 at the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition in Las Vegas from October 22–24.

    “FBO customers have become accustomed to the exceptional service and value offered by Luxivair SBD. During their next visit to Southern California, they can have complete confidence knowing that their choice FBO is committed to sustainable business practices.”, says Mark Gibbs, director of aviation for San Bernardino International Airport. He added, “The secret of Luxivair SBD is out, excellent service, amazing facilities, unbeatable prices, and commitment in our future.”

    Additionally, the FBO expanded its luxury fleet to offer the zero-emission Toyota Mirai through a partnership with StratosShare—the first hydrogen fuel cell rental service of its kind in California. “We wanted to provide our customers with an alternative to traditional rental cars,” says Wendy Bechtel, Luxivair SBD’s manager. “Like the FBO, the Mirai is futuristic, environmentally responsible, and exclusive.” In all of California, there are approximately only 6,000 Toyota Mirai, and Luxivair SBD is the first airport in the state to offer pilots and flight crews access to these new vehicles.
