As of Tuesday afternoon, there have been 365 flights delayed – over 35% of air traffic – and 59 flights canceled at SFO, according to the airline tracking service Flight Aware.
San Francisco International Airport saw cascading delays and flight cancellations Tuesday after fierce winds forced a temporary halt to all flights and an ongoing ground delay order from the Federal Aviation Administration.
Many flights are seeing multi-hour holds, with the average delay at 155 minutes, according to the FAA. Airports in Oakland and San Jose are not reporting any major delays as of Tuesday afternoon. “For us are normally out of the northwest,” said Yakel. “We’ve had to do a 180 in terms of how we’re taking off and landing.”
