Flight delays may be the norm at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) this summer.
The Federal Aviation Administration has slashed arrivals by a third to 36 flights per hour due to construction work on SFO's north-south runways and safety concerns over parallel flight approaches, the regulator told TPG. The cap will rise to 45 flights per hour in October after the runways reopen, but that is still below the 54 flights per hour that were previously allowed.
Travelers should expect that a quarter of all flights to SFO this summer will experience a delay of 30 minutes or longer, an airport spokesperson said.
