Scheduled air travel between Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) and Mammoth Yosemite Airport (MMH) provides a convenient connection between the Los Angeles area and the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains. This air link facilitates access to the recreational opportunities in Mammoth Lakes, including skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and mountain biking, bypassing a lengthy drive.
The availability of this air service significantly reduces travel time, allowing visitors to maximize their time enjoying the region’s attractions. This connection plays a vital role in supporting the local tourism economy, providing a crucial transportation artery for both leisure and business travelers. Historically, access to the Eastern Sierra has been challenging, particularly during winter months. The establishment of regular air service has transformed accessibility, contributing to the region’s growth and development.
