Residents from Burbank and surrounding San Fernando Valley communities explained why they will not approve an airport expansion without a curfew. "We hear passenger jets and general aviation planes taking off all night. They have no curfew," said Gail Romero, a Burbank resident.

There are a number of airport authority meetings this week for residents in the area to share their opinions.
