Hollywood Burbank Airport’s shiny new terminal is open for business
The new terminal will have the same 14 gates but with a lot more room.

It’s taken over a decade and $1.3 billion, but Hollywood Burbank’s new terminal is finally ready for action. On Tuesday, Oct. 13, the first passengers will be taking off and arriving at the brand-new structure.
Visitors note: The new terminal entrance has moved from Thornton Avenue to the intersection of Winona Avenue and Hollywood Way. There’s also a central security checkpoint and an indoor baggage claim.
The project stemmed from Burbank’s Measure B, passed in 2016.
LAist reporter Cato Hernandez got a sneak peek inside the building last week and reported on the scope and the thinking behind the decor.

LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
