The Pleasant, Uncrowded Burbank CA Airport

Burbank airport terminal

The Burbank CA Airport is the closest LA metro airport to downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley. Like the Long Beach Airport, Burbank's airport is small and provides the traveler a less-congested traveling atmosphere...meaning less waiting in line!





The Burbank CA airport originally opened in 1930. So, in 2005, it celebrated it's 75th year of service! It has also been known as the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport, and in December 2003 was renamed the "Bob Hope Airport" (after the famous comedian and actor, of course.) In talking with the locals...and when searching the internet for information...you'll hear/see this airport called by all 3 names!
