Bob Hope Airport Braces for Peak Travel Season

Bob Hope Airport in Burbank is adding more drop-off zones and traffic cops today through Sunday to stymie the logjam of traffic expected during the busiest travel period of the year. “Our biggest problem is use of the curb area,” said airport spokesman Victor Gill, adding that the airport expects up to 20,000 passengers through its terminals on peak travel days. “We have such constrained space out there.” To address the expected increase in pick-ups and drops offs, the airport will allow vehicles to stop in the two lanes closest to the curb, Gill said. A full-time traffic officer will also direct vehicles in and out of the terminal area. Airport officials are also reiterating that passengers follow Transportation Security Administration restrictions on liquids in carry-on bags. Passengers are limited to a single one-ounce quart plastic bag with three-ounce liquid containers.
