What our 30-day measurement shows at BUR

Our own reception measurement covers the past 30 days. Near Hollywood Burbank it recorded an average of 8.7 aircraft observations per day, which is what puts the airport at a moderate traffic level in our data. Treat that average as a mean over 30 days rather than a count for any single day. The busiest window in that period fell between 22:00 and 24:00. Our measuring clock runs in UTC rather than local Burbank time, so read that window as the two hours in which our receivers picked up the most BUR traffic, not as a statement about evening traffic at the terminal. Keep in mind that all of these figures reflect what our receivers captured, not an official schedule.

Airlines we track at Burbank

Three carriers stood out in our 30-day measurement at BUR. Southwest Airlines was by far the most frequently received operator, with 65 observations over the measurement period.

Southwest alone therefore accounts for the large majority of the observations we could attribute to these three carriers.
