Letter: Bob Hope Airport isn’t user friendly

The operators of the Bob Hope Airport appear to be running the airport into the ground. In addition to high parking prices, scarcity of reasonably priced nonstop flights to major West Coast cities and high air fares compared to Los Angeles International Airport, the Burbank car rental concession has been moved from its former convenient location adjacent to the terminal to a distant location quite far from the terminal — and shuttle service is lacking between the two spaces.

After meeting with a business associate from the Midwest who recently had surgery to rebuild a crushed foot and was forced to hike the great distance to the new rental car offices, I was disappointed to hear him say he will never fly into Burbank airport again.

Those airport operators seem to be doing just about everything possible to discourage the use of our airport.
