Hollywood Burbank Airport: Flying Convenient This Summer

Named #1 Airport in the US by Fodor’s Travel, Hollywood Burbank Airport is known as the friendliest, most convenient airport for flying to or from Burbank, Hollywood, and the entire Los Angeles area. Top commercial airlines, charter jets, helicopter tours, and hop-on service from the likes of JSX all operate out of BUR. It’s the closest L.A. airport to a majority of the region’s popular tourist attractions.

Safety Guidelines and Cleaning Protocols

The Hollywood Burbank Airport follows State of California requirements for face-coverings when outside the home, which naturally includes your entire time inside the airport. In addition, all airlines require passengers to wear a face-covering in order to board their aircraft.

In addition, two PPE vending machines have been installed in both Terminals A and B, making personal protective equipment readily available by all users of the Airport.

Social distancing is encouraged to create a safe environment for all passengers. Friendly signage is posted reminding passengers to maintain a 6ft distance, and markers have been placed on the floor for queuing at ticket counters, checkpoints, and gates.

The airport has implemented new cleaning protocols with a focus on high-touch areas. Hand sanitizing dispensers have been placed throughout the airport in high-traffic areas. Decontamination of the terminal with an electrostatic backpack sprayer and solution proven to kill viruses takes place nightly, and surfaces are wiped down and public areas are disinfected more frequently.

For your health and safety, some concourse stores and restaurants are open, but others are still closed. Times vary on a day-to-day basis, please check the airport website for a full list.
