As of March 3, 2026, masks are not required at the Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) for the general public. Following the expiration of federal mandates and California state health orders, masking has become completely optional in most indoor public spaces, including airport terminals and on domestic flights. While Los Angeles County and the City of Burbank occasionally issue "strong recommendations" for high-quality masks (like N95s or KN95s) during peak flu or respiratory virus seasons (typically November through March), there is currently no legal enforcement for travelers. However, some individual international airlines or specific destinations may still have their own masking policies, so it is always wise to carry a mask in your carry-on just in case. Airport staff and some health-conscious travelers still choose to wear them, and the airport continues to provide hand sanitizing stations and enhanced ventilation as part of its permanent post-pandemic safety infrastructure. Always check your specific airline's "Travel Requirements" page 24 hours before your flight for any last-minute policy shifts.
