The federal government granted $8.2 million to Hollywood Burbank Airport for its terminal update project as part of an infrastructure program that has awarded billions to airports across the country to expand terminals, upgrade baggage area systems and improve runway safety. The Federal Aviation Administration granted $289 million on Monday to 129 airports in 40 states, including $66.7 million to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and $26.6 million to Indianapolis International Airport. Hollywood Burbank Airport, formerly known as Bob Hope, broke ground in January to develop a 14-gate, 355,000-square-foot terminal with more than 6,600 parking spaces. In addition to the latest funding, the FAA awarded the Hollywood Burbank Airport roughly $8 million last year and again in 2022. More than $287 million has been allocated to California airports in 2024 through the Biden-Harris administration's infrastructure program, including $72 million to Los Angeles International Airport, roughly $45 million to San Francisco International and nearly $15 million each to San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport and San José Mineta International Airport.
