Glendale Backs Curfew for Burbank Airport
- Share via
GLENDALE — Seeking to build momentum for a new Burbank Airport terminal, the Glendale City Council agreed Tuesday to support a mandatory curfew on flights.
The action came one day after the Burbank Glendale Pasadena Airport Authority submitted plans for a scaled-down, 16-gate terminal in hopes of overcoming objections from the city of Burbank, which co-owns the airport with Glendale and Pasadena.
The vote was announced after a closed session, with officials saying it was supported by a majority of the five-member council.
Burbank officials welcomed action after four years of tense relations between the neighboring cities over the terminal project.
“I was extremely pleased with everything I saw and heard,” said Burbank City Manager Bud Ovrom. “This great leadership from the Glendale City Council is going to go a long ways toward helping to resolve this impasse.” Also on Tuesday, Burbank city officials launched a nine-step process to review plans for the 16-gate terminal, which were resubmitted by the Airport Authority this week.
