Hollywood Burbank Airport Opens New $1.3 Billion Terminal
The 355,000-square-foot facility adds new amenities, expanded screening and three baggage carousels, and is one of the first fully electric terminals in the country.
- On Tuesday, the new $1.3 billion passenger terminal at Hollywood Burbank Airport opened to travelers, replacing a 1930s-era facility while maintaining the airport's 14-gate layout.
- Decades of planning preceded the project after the Federal Aviation Administration determined the original facility sat too close to runways for adequate aircraft safety margins.
- The fully electric terminal increased the runway distance to about 880 feet from as little as 257 feet, while reducing gate-access walks to 1,285 feet from 1,600 feet.
- Operations commenced Tuesday morning as Alaska Airlines Flight 3401 departed at 7 a.m., though none of the 13 food concessions were fully operational on opening day.
- Airport officials expect to demolish the old terminal within 12 months; the authority emphasized this project maintains the 14-gate limit to serve approximately 6.5 million annual passengers.
