Bob Hope Airport officials announced plans Monday to make the current voluntary nighttime curfew mandatory — five months after federal officials rejected a nine-year,
multimillion-dollar application for nighttime flight restrictions.
Joyce Streator, president of the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority, said the authority has begun discussions with airlines on converting the existing voluntary nighttime curfew between 10 p.m. and 6:59 a.m. into a permanent mandatory restriction for all passenger-air carriers.
If those negotiations are successful, Streator told the Glendale News-Press, then the authority “will begin a consensus-building process" that would include residents directly affected by airport operations; the cities of Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena and Los Angeles, the FAA and the airlines.
