Vendor requirements at Hollywood Burbank Airport

Burbank, CA. BUR. Sponsor: Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority

Vendors and subcontractors count as Airport Businesses at BUR and need the Director's prior written approval, through a permit or contract, before doing any paid work. Insurance types and amounts are set by the Director and are not published. To drive on the AOA you need a SIDA badge; a new badge is $60 plus $30 fingerprinting.

Mostly set by agreement Last reviewed

Permit to operate

Permit or contract with the Airport (Director's prior written approval), issued by Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority (Director).

Work cannot begin until proof of insurance is delivered. Ground transportation operators need Director permission and must pay all fees before starting.

Insurance minimums

The airport does not publish fixed insurance limits for vendors. Limits are set in each permit or agreement, so ask the airport or your hosting FBO for the exact numbers.

Working under an FBO or tenant

The rules define Airport Business to include contractors, subcontractors, sublessees and vendors, so a vendor working under an FBO is still bound by them. Whether it needs its own Authority permit is not stated.

What we could not confirm

  • The only rules text found is a proposed 2020 restatement; whether it was adopted as drafted or amended since is not confirmed.
  • Insurance limits are set by the Director and are not published.
  • No aircraft washing rule or minimum standards for FBOs and SASOs were found.
