Airport Plans to Double Seating in Waiting Room
Burbank Airport, where passenger traffic jumped nearly 30% last year, will spend $339,000 to more than double the seating in a waiting room where travelers now often must stand while awaiting flights, officials said Monday.
The airport will add 186 seats in a passenger lounge that serves American, Delta and SkyWest airlines, said Wes Guarino, manager of administration and finance for the airport. The waiting room now has 150 seats.
The room to be expanded is in Terminal A at the east end of the concourse. The price tag for the project will be split among the eight carriers at the airport and can be absorbed without fare increases, they said.
