Slowdown continues at Bob Hope Airport

Passenger traffic fell 4.7 percent in October compared with a year earlier. Through the first 10 months of 2011, the Burbank facility had 3.6 million passengers, a drop of 3.7 percent from the same period a year earlier. Cuts in airline schedules have been a factor in the decline. American recently announced it would eliminate one of its daily flights to Dallas-Fort Worth, and with the airline's recent bankruptcy filing, it wouldn't be surprising to see additional service reductions, especially out of the smaller airports. Meanwhile, traffic at LAX has been up 5.3 percent for the first 10 months. (Glendale News-Press)
