Hollywood Burbank Airport officials say safety is ‘our top priority’

Hollywood Burbank Airport officials insisted on Wednesday the facility is safe for passengers, one day after the chair of the National Transportation Safety Board suggested the airport could be the next to experience a midair collision due to the combination of airline and helicopter traffic in the area.

“The safety of our guests, staff, tenants and all stakeholders while they are at Hollywood Burbank Airport is our top priority,” a written statement released Wednesday by the airport said.
