The Hollywood Burbank Airport (formerly known as Bob Hope Airport after entertainer Bob Hope) is located 3 miles northwest of downtown Burbank.

This public airport is nearly 100 years old and is located much closer to many popular Los Angeles area attractions like Griffith Park, Universal Studios Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles than Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), which is located in El Segundo. 

The Hollywood Burbank Airport is also the only airport in the Los Angeles area with a direct rail connection to Downtown Los Angeles. Passengers can use Metrolink service from two stations: Burbank Airport–North (on the Antelope Valley Line) and Burbank Airport–South (on the Ventura County Line). 

There are two terminals, "A" and "B" -- both located in the same building. Terminal A has nine gates numbered A1 to A9, and Terminal B has five gates numbered B1 to B5.

The airport currently serves more than a dozen airlines -- including Southwest, Avelo, Alaska, American, United, Spirit and JSX among others.
