Hollywood Burbank Airport

Burbank Airport station is a proposed California High-Speed Rail station in Burbank, California, to be located at the Hollywood Burbank Airport adjacent to and just west of that facility's proposed replacement passenger terminal, which will be built in the northeast quadrant of the airfield. The site for the rail station is bounded by Cohasset Street to the north, Winona Avenue on the south, and Hollywood Way along the eastern end of the airport property. The station connects the Palmdale to Burbank and Burbank to Los Angeles project sections of the California high-speed rail line, but is considered to be part of the latter. The station will be mostly underground, but an above-grade building will tie it into the relocated airport terminal complex. Plans call for the approach tunnels and station box to be mostly built using the cut and cover method — except for those portions under active taxiway D and active runway 8-26, which will be constructed using the Sequential Extraction Method (SEM) to avoid ground subsidence.The proposed HSR station is separate from, and not connected to, the nearby Metrolink commuter rail station on their Antelope Valley Line, known as Burbank Airport–North station. No plans currently exist to directly connect that station to the proposed high-speed rail (HSR) station, but the airport authority runs an "on demand" shuttle between the present terminal and this Metrolink station, which is just northeast of the airport. Similarly, there is a joint Metrolink/Amtrak station just to the south of the airport — known on the Metrolink Ventura County Line as Burbank Airport–South and as Hollywood Burbank Airport to Amtrak riders on their Pacific Surfliner. That station is within walking distance to the present airport terminal, but will be considerably farther away once the new terminal opens. It is not known if the airport plans to restart a similar shuttle service to this rail station once the air terminal is moved, but that may be likely since much of the airport's rental car infrastructure is housed across the street in the Regional Intermodal Transportation Center at the corner of Hollywood Way and Empire Avenue. However, like to the north there are no present plans to physically directly link the HSR station to this existing rail station to the south.

The Burbank–Glendale–Pasadena Airport Authority Police (BGPAA PD) is a law enforcement agency with responsibility for security and police functions at Hollywood Burbank Airport. It is an arm of the Bob Hope Airport, which represents the three cities that own the airport (Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena). Despite proximity to Los Angeles and Van Nuys airports, the BGPAA PD is an independent agency and is not affiliated with the Los Angeles Airport Police, other than for liaison purposes. It is also separate from the police departments of the cities that own the airport. Airport Police officers are peace officers under California law and have authority anywhere in the state. Authorized strength is 34 sworn officers. The chief of police is Edward B. Skvarna. BGPAA PD arrested Snoop Dogg at the airport in 2006.

Burbank Airport–South station, referred to as Hollywood Burbank Airport station by Amtrak and formerly known as Burbank–Bob Hope Airport station, is an unstaffed Amtrak and Metrolink rail station at Hollywood Burbank Airport in the city of Burbank, California. It is served by both Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner from San Luis Obispo to San Diego and Metrolink's Ventura County Line from Los Angeles Union Station to east Ventura. The ten Pacific Surfliner trains that serve the station daily and 29 Metrolink trains that serve the station each weekday connect arrivals from the airport to downtown Los Angeles' Union Station in about 30 minutes. Amtrak's Coast Starlight which travels between Seattle, Washington and Los Angeles also stops here. The station is a short walking distance from the airport terminals, and a free shuttle was offered by the airport but was discontinued due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is unknown when this service will return. Metrolink operates some trains as shuttles from the Hollywood Burbank Airport station to Los Angeles Union Station with intermediate stops at the downtown Burbank and Glendale stations.Of the 76 California stations served by Amtrak, Burbank was the 28th-busiest in FY2017, with 73,814 total passengers.

Southwest Airlines Flight 1455 was a scheduled passenger flight from McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada, to Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport, Burbank, California, that overran the runway during landing on March 5, 2000. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-3T5, registration N668SW, came to rest on a city street adjacent to a gas station. The National Transportation Safety Board found that the incident was due to the pilots attempting to land with excessive speed. They also found that the air traffic controller placed them in a position from which their only option was a go around. Two of the passengers were seriously injured, and there were many minor injuries. As a result of the incident, the airport installed an Engineered Materials Arrestor System (EMAS) at the east end of the incident runway. The aircraft was written off, making the incident the 10th hull loss of a Boeing 737-300. This was the first major accident in the airline's 29-year history.

The Portal of the Folded Wings Shrine to Aviation is in Los Angeles, California. The shrine is a 75-foot-tall (23 m) structure of marble, mosaic, and sculpted figures and is the burial site for fifteen pioneers of aviation. Designed by Kenneth A. MacDonald Jr. and sculptor, Federico Augustino Giorgi, it was built in 1924 as the entrance to Pierce Brothers Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery. Aviation enthusiast James Gillette was impressed by the rotunda's close proximity to the airport and Lockheed Aircraft Company. He conceived a plan to use the structure as a shrine to aviation and worked to that end for two decades. It was dedicated in 1953 by aviation enthusiasts who wanted a final resting place for pilots, mechanics, and other pioneers of flight. Dedicated to the honored dead of American aviation on the 50th anniversary of powered flight, December 17, 1953, by Lieutenant General Ira C. Eaker USAF (retired). Beneath the memorial tablets in this sacred portal rest the cremated remains of famous flyers who contributed so much to the history and development of aviation. The bronze plaques upon the marble walls memorialize beloved Americans who devoted their lives to the advancement of the air age. Administered under the auspices of the Brookins–Lahm–Wright Aeronautical Foundation, this shrine stands as a lasting tribute. On May 27, 1996, it was rededicated by Dr. Tom Crouch, Chairman of the Aeronautics Department at the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution.
