Burbank's Statement on Part 161 Denial

AIRPORT AUTHORITY ISSUES STATEMENT ON FAA REJECTION OF PART 161 STUDY APPLICATION FOR FULL CURFEW 

  BURBANK, Calif., November 2, 2009 – Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority President Joyce Streator issued the following statement today upon receipt of correspondence from the Federal Aviation Administration denying the Authority’s Part 161 Study application for a full curfew at Bob Hope Airport:

  “The Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority this morning, November 2nd, received from the Federal Aviation Administration a 42-page document that denied the Bob Hope Airport's Part 161 application for a full nighttime curfew.

  “The Airport Commission has not yet had the time to study the details of the FAA's document and will do so in the next two weeks. The Commission is deeply disappointed in the denial of its application, and renewed its commitment to seeking meaningful nighttime noise relief.

  “The Airport invested in excess of $7 million over the past nine years in research, analysis, and public comment, as well as innumerable staff hours, to create the application. We are disappointed, but we haven't given up the fight."
