Burbank Airport Will Lease Parking Spaces

To offset a recent increase in passenger traffic and a decrease in the amount of available parking, the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority on Monday authorized the leasing of up to 400 parking spaces from Lockheed Corp.

The spaces, situated about half a mile from the airport, will be assigned to airport and airline employees, freeing airport parking spaces for travelers, authority staff members said. The airport has had a parking crunch since mid-April, when Southwest Airlines inaugurated a $59 one-way fare to and from Oakland, said Thomas E. Greer, director of airport services, adding, “The lots are filling up often.”
