FBO Offers Greener Alternative in Southern California

SAN BERNARDINO, CA, July 17, 2019 /Neptune100/ — THIS RELEASE UPDATES THE RELEASE WITH THE SAME HEADLINE THAT WAS PUBLISHED ON JULY 16, 2019

Luxivair SBD, the FBO at San Bernardino International Airport, has recognized the importance of eco-friendly business practices since its inception. The FBO continues to make significant investments in environmentally-friendly ground support equipment to help reduce its carbon footprint without sacrificing the five-star experience customers have come to expect from Luxivair SBD.

Recent acquisitions of low and zero emission ground support equipment include electric-powered aircraft tugs, new propane powered forklift, new 10,000 gallon fuel trucks and new aircraft ground power generators; all of which are compliant with the latest South Coast Air Quality Management District and the state of California Tier 4 emission standards. Tier 4 compliant equipment ensures Luxivair SBD contributes fewer overall carbon emissions at the Airport. Through its partnership with StratosShare, a division of StratosFuel, the FBO will soon be offering hydrogen powered, zero emission, Toyota Mirai sedans to its customers. These vehicles will offer the very latest in clean technology, combined with the convenience of access through a simple phone app that pairs Luxivair SBD’s customers wallets with energy consciousness – only pay for what you use with by-the-hour or by-the-day rental options.

Luxivair SBD’s distinctive lobby was purposefully designed to take advantage of natural light with wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows. Both SBD International Airport and Luxivair SBD have recently converted to energy efficient LED lighting to reduce energy usage and light pollution while improving visibly on aircraft movement areas.

“As the premier FBO in Southern California, Luxivair SBD’s, core values include environmentally sustainable equipment and practices that our customers and community can rely on,” says Mark Gibbs, Director of Aviation for the San Bernardino International Airport. “The FBO continues its good stewardship of the environment while investing in responsible business practices and delivering the quality services its customers expect.”

FBO Offers Greener Alternative in Southern California

SAN BERNARDINO, CA, July 16, 2019 /Neptune100/ — Luxivair SBD at San Bernardino International Airport announces a number of significant investments in environmentally-friendly technologies that will help reduce its carbon footprint. The FBO is committed to minimizing the impacts of its operations and to providing a greener alternative to increasingly eco-conscious customers — all without sacrificing the five-star experience it’s known for.

New alternative-fueled vehicles and ground support equipment at Luxivair contribute fewer—even zero—emissions. The FBO recently expanded its private rental fleet to include four 2019 Toyota Mirai luxury sedans. The hydrogen fuel-cell cars boast zero emissions and exclusive appeal. Behind the scenes, electric-powered pushback tugs move aircraft away from gates, a new forklift is fueled by propane, and other new ground equipment, including two fuel trucks, is compliant with the highest standards set by South Coast Air Quality Management District and the state of California.

All lighting on the airfield and in large hangar bays has been converted to energy-efficient LEDs, while the FBO’s lobby and other amenities were purposefully designed to take advantage of natural light with wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows. Newly installed solar panels help power operations at Luxivair, with no negative effects on the environment.

Luxivair has recognized the importance of eco-friendly business practices since its inception. “As the premier FBO in Southern California, Luxivair SBD takes its responsibility to the environment, to our customers, and to the community very seriously,” says Mark Gibbs, Director of Aviation for San Bernardino International Airport. “While the FBO isn’t 100% green yet, it’s making great strides, and remains committed to doing its part to reduce the effects of its operations while delivering the quality expected by customers.”
