Hollywood Burbank Airport opens newly-renovated terminal
Key Points:
- Hollywood Burbank Airport has unveiled a new 355,000-square-foot terminal, replacing the original 1930s-era facility and marking a major upgrade after 96 years.
- The terminal features modern amenities including new restaurants, retail stores, elevated ceilings, wireless charging stations at every gate, animated displays, three new baggage carousels, and is one of the first fully electric terminals in the U.S.
- The airport retains its 14 gates but offers expanded security screening, more passenger amenities, a new parking structure, and relocated main entrances to Winona Avenue and Hollywood Way.
- Changes include the relocation of valet services, closure of Lot E, a new rideshare pickup lot, shuttle service for rental-car customers, and a pedestrian path plus shuttle connecting the terminal to the Burbank Airport-North Metrolink station.
- Passengers will continue to board and deplane outdoors without covered jet bridges, preserving a longstanding airport practice despite the extensive modernization.
