SFO landing capacity hit by FAA rule change

March 31, 2026Sheel Mohnot, Peter Kazanjy

Sheel Mohnot and Peter Kazanjy warn that banning parallel landings will reduce SFO throughput, tying it to a prior accident and predicting major operational impact.

FAA banned parallel landings permanently, will be bad for SFO (max landings drop from 54>36/hr)
Given the topography of SFO, we have 2 parallel runways 750’ apart.
now SF loses half its landing volume.
