Summary
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) has been experiencing flight delays due to runway construction and new flight restrictions imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). United Airlines, the dominant carrier at SFO, has worked with the FAA to develop a new approach to increase the number of planes that can land each hour. The airline expects improvements in landing rates over the next two to three weeks. The FAA has designated SFO as one of the nation’s more capacity-constrained airports, and the airport’s schedules are tightly managed due to congestion.
