The health and safety of our travelers, personnel and all Hollywood Burbank Airport users is our top priority. Hollywood Burbank Airport is operating normally, and we are working closely with City of Burbank Emergency Management Division and Los Angeles County Department of Public Health for coordination.

Hollywood Burbank Airport has stepped up its efforts to control the spread of COVID-19:

  • Increased the number of free-standing hand sanitizer dispensers in visible locations throughout the Airport

  • The measures listed above have helped Hollywood Burbank Airport earn accreditation from the Airports Council International (ACI) “Airport Health Accreditation Program”. The program is designed to help reassure the traveling public that airport facilities remain safe, and that precautions are being taken to reduce any risk to their health. The program provides airports with an assessment of how aligned their health measures are with the ACI Aviation Business Restart and Recovery guidelines, and ICAO Council Aviation Restart Task Force recommendations, along with industry best practices.
