WWII-era History

Thought the following were pretty interesting. Maybe someone more familiar with the area might want to include something from these:

new terminal

Some history of the new terminal should be included. I'll try to write it sometime in the future. I think a large new terminal was planned for the area where the Lockheed facilities were but the plan was later scrapped. I think the plan was created in the early to mid 1990's.

Then and now on the new terminal

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade film location

[[:Image:TI Indy.jpg|thumb|250px|right| Treasure Island Museum's Main Administrative Building as seen in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.]]

I removed the incorrect statement in the "Film Location" section stating that the Bob Hope airport was used to film the Berlin Airport scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. This was in fact filmed at the Treasure Island Naval Base in San Francisco (see image on right).

Can anyone provide sources for the rest of the films purported to have shot at the Bob Hope airpiort? This whole page is in desperate need of further citations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Notecardforfree (talk • contribs) 19:33, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

International?

Bob Hope is an international airport. Shouldn't someone go through and correct that? I did it once and someone undid my edit. Chicken0895 (talk) 23:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What's your source for the name of the airport? HkCaGu (talk) 02:49, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The airport website does not have the "International" designation in the airport name. The airport's official name is "Bob Hope Airport" according to their website. Charmedaddict (talk) 04:45, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, just thought I'd ask. Chicken0895 (talk) 00:35, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What's your source for even thinking it's an international airport? The "Destinations" section clearly indicates it's a very, very domestic airport. Ssredg (talk) 06:05, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The airport does have International processing facilities, but A. It's only for small business jets (business operations), so no commercial International Operations and B. The airport name doesn't have to have the word international in it. KDTW Flyer (talk) 23:42, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please help improve this airport article

Will someone please improve this article, i.e. the infobox...maybe incorporate the logo and official image of the airport? I've improved 2 airport articles so far and I'm tired :( Ssredg (talk) 06:08, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Improvements

Made some improvements / enhancements under the "Bus" section. Enjoy! Ssredg (talk) 20:26, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Name change too fast?

I just flew into Burbank last night and the supposedly new "Hollywood Burbank" branding was not in evidence at all -- not on signage, announcements, or anything. Not up on the airport's website either. I wonder if we changed the article's title too fast. A vote from the airport's board is one step in the name change process, but not the complete process. There will probably be a formal change at some future date. --Jfruh (talk) 20:44, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It was a pretty rapid article renaming... I suspect part of the rationale for this is that nobody actually uses "Bob Hope" as the common name anyway, so "Hollywood Burbank Airport" is already closer to the "Burbank Airport" in common usage. Of course, if they intend to keep "Bob Hope" as the official name, well... that's likely to complicate things. It's all pretty ridiculous, really. --Junkyardsparkle (talk) 21:43, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the name has only been voted on, it hasn't been implanted yet. So the brand name is still Bob Hope. Also, I think that a wikipedia page is supposed to be named after the legal name of the airport. So I don't know why it can/should be changed in the first place.KDTW Flyer (talk) 01:06, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed; while the name change has been agreed upon, it hasn't actually happened yet. Orange Suede Sofa (talk) 03:45, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 9 October 2017

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move. Cúchullain ^t/c 15:22, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bob Hope Airport → Hollywood Burbank Airport – Without an agreed-upon naming conventions for airports, Wikipedia prefers the name that is most commonly used, as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources (WP:COMMONNAME).

This very move was discussed in May 2016, and found to have been too hasty, before the name change had truly taken effect. But since February 2017, Hollywood Burbank Airport is the name used at the official website, and in all articles by the Los Angeles Times / Burbank Leader (1,2), The Los Angeles Daily News (3, 4), San Fernando Valley Business Journal (5), Daily Breeze (6), and Curbed LA (7). Allstar86 (talk) 00:55, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As the person who raised the alarm up above about the premature move, I would cautiously support this move. The listed links seem pretty definitive, though I'm curious as to what's happening at the actual airport itself (i.e., whether they've changed the signage). --Jfruh (talk) 20:15, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Not a "hub" for Avelo

Avelo does not list Burbank as a "hub." They do call it a "base." Furthermore, if you attempt to book a trip between Boise and Las Vegas, it won't allow it, despite both cities being served from Burbank. That would be the definition of a hub. RickyCourtney (talk) 18:06, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It’s also no more a focus city for Avelo than it is a focus city for Southwest. RickyCourtney (talk) 21:41, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
