Summary: The FAA recently denied a proposed ban on nighttime operations at Bob Hope Airport (BUR) in Burbank, CA. Bob Rodine, a business aviation consultant, said the denial was a watershed moment to preserve business aviation access to the airport. The FAA ruled that the ban would have adversely impacted economic activity in the area, as well as aviation operations in the wider Los Angeles-area. In response, Congressmen representing the community surrounding the airport announced plans to introduce legislation to mandate a nighttime curfew. NBAA will continue to defend and preserve access at airports like BUR.
