DATA SPOTLIGHT: San Francisco International Airport

1 April, 2020

This year The Blue Swan Daily will feature some of the leading airlines, airports and country markets for air travel. Here, using the extensive profile insights available to CAPA - Centre for Aviation members, we deliver a data snapshot on San Francisco International Airport, which is consolidating its activities in its international terminal as a result of reduced flight and passenger activity related to the COVID-19 crisis.

The major west coast USA hub has confirmed that from 01-Apr-2020 all flights using its international terminal will depart from a single concourse, Boarding Area G, with Boarding Area A, which contains This consolidation, which is due to provisionally last until the end of May-2020, will allow the airport to close a security checkpoint and consolidate Customs & Border Protection (CBP) to a single point of entry for international arrivals.

It will also improve passenger connectivity, as Boarding Area G is connected to Domestic Terminal 3 through a post-security connecting walkway, while airport users will have greater access to essential services within the airport, including food & beverage. Although Boarding Area A will be closed, the Grand Hyatt at SFO and International Parking Garage A will remain open.

In the recent days, an average of less than 12 flights per day have departed from Boarding Area A as international flights at the airport have now more than halved against planned levels. Alongside this consolidation airport officials confirmed in Mar-2020 that the opening of the next phase of the Harvey Milk Terminal 1 will be postponed and will not be activated for public relief for at least four weeks.
