Location

San Bernardino, United States

San Bernardino International Airport (SBD) is a public airport located in San Bernardino, California, in the Inland Empire region east of Los Angeles. It occupies the site of the former Norton Air Force Base, which closed in 1994 following the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process. The airport has been redeveloped as a commercial and cargo facility, with ambitions to attract passenger airline service to relieve congestion at nearby Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Ontario International Airport (ONT). It hosts cargo operators, general aviation, and periodic charter flights. The Inland Empire region has seen significant population and logistics growth, making SBD an attractive location for freight and distribution operations. The airport authority has continued to invest in infrastructure improvements to attract additional carriers and cargo operators.
