Million Air San Bernardino, a luxury general aviation hub at San Bernardino International Airport, has been operating without an active business license with the city since April 30.
A.J. Wilson, the interim executive director of the San Bernardino International Airport Authority, said the business should expect to get a 30-day notice shortly warning the company that it is violating its lease by not having a license.
Scot Spencer, manager of Million Air San Bernardino LLC and a focus of an FBI investigation looking into wrongdoing at the airport, did not return a call seeking comment. Spencer’s company has a franchise agreement with Houston-based Million Air Interlink for rights to the name and staff services.
A spokesman representing Spencer’s investors, the Norton Airport Investment Co. LLC, said Friday, though, that the city’s notices were sent to an address in Texas and never received by Million Air San Bernardino. Coby King, a Los Angeles-based public relations professional specializing in strategic and crisis communications, said he was told that the amounts owed to the city were paid Thursday when his client became aware of the lapse.
“My understanding is that it was sent to a wrong address and they literally just received it quite recently,” King said.
The airport has attempted to evict or sever agreements with multiple companies managed by Spencer at the airport for not paying rent or fulfilling other contract requirements. The Million Air franchise, as well as a fueling operation, have been the only Spencer-related businesses that haven’t been affected so far. As of the latest meeting of the authority, held Wednesday, Spencer’s Million Air was current in paying rent.
Spencer, who at one point was entrusted with developing, managing and leasing space at the airport after being awarded two no-bid agreements in 2007 by the public agency, has recently ceded control
