Private Jet Charter From Hollywood Burbank Airport

Hollywood Burbank Airport is the closest aviation gateway to the major entertainment studios, Pasadena, Glendale, and the eastern Los Angeles basin. Located in Burbank, approximately 12 miles north of downtown Los Angeles and directly adjacent to the Warner Bros., Walt Disney, and Universal studios, BUR handles commercial service alongside a well-established private aviation operation. For entertainment industry executives, production teams, and high net worth travellers heading to Pasadena, La Cañada Flintridge, and the San Fernando Valley east side, Burbank places clients closer to their destination than either Van Nuys or LAX.

For premium charter clients, Hollywood Burbank offers two established fixed base operators, Atlantic Aviation and Signature Flight Support, providing private passenger lounges, planeside vehicle access, and full operational separation from commercial traffic. The airport is the preferred arrival point for clients heading to studio lots, the Rose Bowl, Huntington Gardens, and the Pasadena corridor, with significantly less ground time than a drive from Van Nuys or LAX.
