FAA Eases SFO Landing Ban After 41% Of Flights Delayed

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is set to get some relief from a summer of unusually severe disruption after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved a new procedure allowing staggered parallel landings. The change, due to take effect on August 12, partially unwinds restrictions imposed at the end of March that sharply reduced the number of aircraft SFO could land during otherwise favorable weather.
