Bob Hope Airport

Addressing the impact of aircraft noise has been an ever present and high priority at Hollywood Burbank Airport since the Airport Authority purchased the Airport from Lockheed in 1978.

To further comply with the state noise regulations and all other applicable laws and agreements, the Airport Authority established and enforces the Noise Rules to the extent that such requirements shall not conflict with the pilot’s judgment of safety of flight.

The Airport Authority established a voluntary curfew with the airlines, which have voluntarily agreed to not schedule any flights between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:59 a.m.

The Noise & Environmental office reviews airline schedules and night-time performance of the airlines operating at the Airport.

Runway 08 departures prohibited for multiengine aircraft over 12,500 pounds.
