FAA bans side-by-side parallel approaches at SFO, cuts arrivals by about a third during runway repaving The FAA has barred side-by-side parallel approaches at San Francisco International Airport and cut arrivals by roughly one-third while runway repaving is underway. The combined safety restriction and construction-driven capacity cap is expected to cause major delays and significant schedule disruption for carriers serving SFO.

Fast coronal mass ejection may produce auroras across 16 U.S. states and disrupt satellites, HF and GNSS A fast coronal mass ejection arriving tonight could send auroras from Alaska as far south as Wyoming, making displays across 16 U.S. states. Space weather warnings say the event may prompt satellite anomalies and degrade HF radio and GNSS positioning relied on by aviation and space systems.
