Burbank Airport Goes Hollywood
Officials at Bob Hope Airport officially changed its unofficial name to borrow some tinseltown magic.
BURBANK, CA - Bob Hope Airport. It's not just for Burbank anymore.
The airport located in the heart of Burbank will henceforth be informally known as "Hollywood Burbank Airport."
The Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority on Monday voted to re- brand the airport's unofficial name in a marketing effort to let travelers know the airfield is a gateway to destinations beyond just Burbank.
