AIR TRAFFIC BACK TO NORMAL

BURBANK, Calif., October 28, 2003 -- Air traffic control is back to normal today, eliminating the significant delays that occurred Sunday and Monday due to closure of the FAA's Southern California air traffic control facility near San Diego caused by weekend firestorms.

Passengers are still advised to check with their individual airlines for information on specific flights. Website links to all airlines at Burbank Airport are available at the home page of www.burbankairport.com.

Information on all flights to or from Burbank is also available on www.FlightArrivals.com, and a link to that site is listed under the heading "Flight Status" on the upper left corner of the Airport's home page.

Despite numerous delays yesterday, airlines completed nearly all scheduled flights.

SCHEDULED AIRLINE FLIGHTS ACHIEVE 97% COMPLIANCE WITH VOLUNTARY CURFEW

Three Pre-7 A.M. Departures Now Leave the Gate at 6:50 A.M. or Later, Increasing Likelihood of Post-7 A.M. Takeoff; No Airline Departures or Arrivals Scheduled After 10 P.M. with Exception of 5:32 A.M. Cargo Arrival

BURBANK, Calif., October 21, 2003 � Scheduled airline departures and arrivals at Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport during the nighttime hours of 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. have reached the lowest level since the 1980s following a series of schedule changes over the summer and fall months.

A report released to the Airport Authority October 20th shows only three airline departures scheduled prior to 7 a.m. -- 6:50 a.m., 6:51 a.m. and 6:55 a.m. The departure time is when the aircraft pushes back from the terminal gate, and in most instances, taxiing to the north end of the airfield requires enough time so that actual lift-off occurs at 7 a.m. or later.
