The former executive director of Hollywood Burbank Airport thinks the airport is being too aggressive with its marketing campaign to increase passenger numbers.
The former executive director of the Hollywood Burbank Airport and two members of the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority butted heads while discussing noise issues related to the airfield.
More and more flights departing from Burbank have been making their northbound turns over Studio City and Sherman Oaks during the past two years and disturbing those neighborhoods.Departing flights historically have made their turns over the 101 Freeway. However, Feger thinks that the airport’s successful marketing push has gone too far.
Commissioner Don Brown responded by saying Feger had initially supported working with Anyone Collective to boost passenger numbers in order to recover from the 2008 recession.Brown added that Feger did nothing about the noise issue while he was the airport’s executive director. The development agreement instituted a super-majority vote requirement whenever the airport authority discussed major topics regarding the current and future terminal, like expanding the terminal, increasing the number of gates and long-term contracts.
“What are you saying to the community about what your role is as the protector of their interests?” Feger said. “What you’re saying is, ‘To hell with their interests. Our No. 1 priority is pumping as many passengers and aircraft through this facility as we can.’” “I think he does a disservice not just to the commission but to the community because he holds himself out to be, and he is, an expert in terms of many of these areas,” Tornek said.
