====Air==== The [[Hollywood Burbank Airport]], until late 2017 known as Bob Hope Airport, serves over 4 million travelers per year with six major carriers and over 70 flights daily. The airport, located in the northwestern corner of the city, is the source of most street traffic in the city. Noise from the airport has been a source of concern for nearly decades. There was even a report in 2018 that a new satellite air-traffic control system may be responsible for some of the noise by putting jets on a path that includes certain neighborhoods.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.latimes.com/socal/burbank-leader/news/tn-blr-me-faa-letter-20170113-story.html | title = Burbank seeks to write joint letter with airport authority regarding NextGen | first = Anthony | last = Clark Carpio | date = January 12, 2018 | work =[[Los Angeles Times]] | access-date = January 15, 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180116020441/http://www.latimes.com/socal/burbank-leader/news/tn-blr-me-faa-letter-20170113-story.html | archive-date = January 16, 2018 | url-status = live }}</ref> A bill introduced in May 2013 by two California congressmen would put into law an overnight curfew on flights from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. The U.S. [[Federal Aviation Administration]] had rejected the airports' applications for a curfew.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailynews.com/general-news/20130522/congressmen-try-again-for-nighttime-curfews-at-van-nuys-burbank-airports|title=Congressmen try again for nighttime curfews at Van Nuys, Burbank airports|website=[[Los Angeles Daily News]]|date=May 22, 2013|access-date=February 16, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140223033427/http://www.dailynews.com/general-news/20130522/congressmen-try-again-for-nighttime-curfews-at-van-nuys-burbank-airports|archive-date=February 23, 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> However, the airport still suggests a volunteer curfew of 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., where airlines are strongly encouraged not to schedule any arrivals or departures, to respect the surrounding neighborhoods.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://hollywoodburbankairport.com/noise-issues/noise-rules-summary/|title=Noise Rules Summary|date=October 20, 2015|website=Hollywood Burbank Airport|access-date=February 20, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180228012648/http://hollywoodburbankairport.com/noise-issues/noise-rules-summary/|archive-date=February 28, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> In December 2008, a slowdown in passenger traffic led the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority to curtail spending plans, including deferring multimillion-dollar construction projects. The weak economy continued to affect the airport in 2010, with figures showing a 6% decline in passengers for the fiscal year ending June 30. The slowdown is one reason the airport authority scrapped plans to spend $4 million to erect barriers at the west end of the runway.<ref>{{cite web |last=Kisliuk |first=Bill |url=http://www.burbankleader.com/news/tn-blr-airport-20101020,0,7742375.story |title=Bright news for Bob Hope Airport |publisher=Burbank Leader |date=October 20, 2010 |access-date=December 19, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111124211208/http://www.burbankleader.com/news/tn-blr-airport-20101020,0,7742375.story |archive-date=November 24, 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2000, a [[Southwest Airlines]] [[Boeing 737]] flight with 142 persons aboard overshot the runway and went through the east fence, coming to a stop on Hollywood Way near a Chevron gas station.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ntsb.gov/doclib/reports/2002/AAB0204.pdf |title=Southwest Airlines flight 1455, Burbank, California, March 5, 2000 |access-date=December 19, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111228112244/https://www.ntsb.gov/doclib/reports/2002/AAB0204.pdf |archive-date=December 28, 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref>
