Hollywood Burbank Jet Center, one of two service providers at Los Angeles-area Bob Hope Airport (KBUR), is the latest facility to join the Paragon FBO Network. The location was a Million Air franchisee for more than two decades before recently becoming independent.
The Avfuel-branded, family-owned facility is open 24/7 and features a 6,000-sq-ft terminal with a passenger lounge, pilot lounge, quiet room with massage chairs, showers, concierge, refreshment bar, canteen, eight-seat conference room, business center, and a ramp capable of accommodating a Boeing 757. Crew and onsite rental cars are available, as is sustainable aviation fuel and UL94 avgas.
“We are proud to carry forward the legacy my father began while building an independent identity that reflects who we are today,” said Priscilla Howden, the FBO’s general manager. “Our focus remains on delivering a consistent, welcoming, and high-quality experience for every customer who comes through our doors.” 
This addition strengthens Paragon’s presence in a region recognized for its high-volume business aviation activity, entertainment industry travel, and corporate flight operations. 
Paragon president Crystal Kubeczka noted the FBO’s family history in aviation, commitment to operational excellence, and continued investment in the customer experience make it a strong addition to the network. “Burbank is a critical gateway for Southern California business aviation, and their presence enhances the consistency and quality of service available to operators in the region.”
