Hollywood Burbank Airport, Public airport in Burbank, United States.
Hollywood Burbank Airport is a regional airport in Burbank, California, offering mainly connections to destinations across the western part of North America. The facility has two passenger terminals with a total of 14 gates and is served by several airlines.
The facility opened in 1930 as United Airport and went through several name changes, including Union Air Terminal and Lockheed Air Terminal. In 2003, it received the name Bob Hope Airport before switching to the current designation in 2017.
The airport sits in the middle of a residential neighborhood, with houses and streets reaching right up to the runway. This proximity to the community shapes operations and makes it part of daily urban life in Burbank.
The terminal sits close to residential areas, so travelers reach surrounding neighborhoods quickly after landing. Car rentals are within walking distance, and several shuttle services connect the airport to nearby railway stations.
The location in the middle of the city leads to strict rules for aircraft noise during daytime hours between 7:00 AM and 10:00 PM. Planes must follow specific approach and departure routes to protect the surrounding residential homes.
