San Bernardino International Airport (IATA: SBD, ICAO: KSBD, FAA LID: SBD) is a public airport two miles (3.2 km) southeast of downtown San Bernardino, California, in San Bernardino County, California, United States. The airport covers 1,329 acres (538 ha) and has one runway that can accommodate the largest existing aircraft, including the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 747.
The facility is a commercial, general aviation, and cargo airport on the site of the former San Bernardino Municipal Airport, which was converted during World War II into the San Bernardino Air Depot in 1942 and which was subsequently renamed, "Norton Air Force Base", before being decommissioned with the fall of the Soviet Union.
San Bernardino International Airport encompasses three passenger terminals: a domestic terminal served by Breeze Airways, an international terminal with U.S. Customs and Border Protection processing facility, and the Luxivair SBD executive terminal, an airport-owned fixed-base operator.




History


The Norton Air Force Base opened shortly after the attacks on Pearl Harbor. Norton was placed on the Department of Defense's base closure list in 1989.
Most parts of San Bernardino International Airport were completed in 2011, though a customs facility was still under construction. San Bernardino International Airport was built to conform to aviation-demand modeling and allocations performed as part of the 2008 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), the Metropolitan Planning Organization for San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Riverside, Ventura, Imperial, and Orange counties.
The RTP projected 9.4 million passengers and 1.29 million tons of air cargo at San Bernardino International Airport in 2035 with improved ground access provided, in part, by high-speed rail. The California High-Speed Rail Authority is currently performing alternatives analysis regarding the Los Angeles-to-San Diego segment, which includes, along the I-215 alignment, an optional station location at Rialto Avenue and E Street in the city of San Bernardino.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents are available on call to clear imported goods. The airport is used as a base for United States Forest Service planes fighting forest fires. Several hangars that were formerly empty have recently been occupied by civilian-owned aircraft maintenance companies. The runway is 10,000 feet (3,000 m) long, easily accommodating all commercial aircraft.

An audit completed June 2011 at the request of a grand jury investigation found examples of potential mismanagement and financial irregularities. In September 2011, as part of a special joint corruption task force, the FBI raided the offices of the airport and the home of airport developer Scot Spencer to secure internal documents. In late September 2011, Don Rogers, the Director of the SBIA Authority (SBIAA) resigned.

San Bernardino International Airport encompasses three passenger terminals: a domestic terminal served by Breeze Airways, an international terminal with a U.S. Customs and Border Protection processing facility, and the Luxivair SBD executive terminal, an airport-owned fixed-base operator.
Volaris, a Mexican low-cost airline, announced the beginning of flights to Guadalajara, Mexico in November 2017; however, these plans were later cancelled. In March 2022, Breeze Airways first announced plans to operate passenger service at the airport. Finally, on August 4, 2022, Breeze Airways became the first commercial airline to operate passenger flights in and out of SBD's never-been-used domestic air terminal, with daily flights to San Francisco.
