Storms and global conflicts trigger major SFO flight disruptions
Turbulent Skies Over SFO
Flights at San Francisco International Airport are facing significant disruptions driven by both severe weather and geopolitical conflict. Strong winds and a Level 2 storm have led to FAA ground delay programs, multi‑hour inbound delays, and related power outages across the Bay Area. At the same time, U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran have disrupted airspace across the Middle East, impacting international routes connected to SFO. These overlapping factors are causing widespread delays and uncertainty for travelers and airlines alike.
