FAA bans side‑by‑side parallel landings at SFO as Runway 1R closes for six months, curbing arrivals and triggering major delays

The FAA has imposed new safety restrictions at San Francisco International Airport that ban side‑by‑side parallel approaches and limit arrivals, coinciding with a six‑month closure of Runway 1R for repaving. Airlines say the measures will cause significant delays and disrupt schedules at the Bay Area hub.

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.

DLR tests wake-vortex warning and avoidance system in live commercial traffic The German Aerospace Center (DLR) has for the first time used live commercial air traffic to test a wake-vortex warning and avoidance system. Building on prior Dassault Falcon 2000LX flight trials, researchers flew the DLR Falcon into operational traffic to evaluate detection and avoidance guidance.

Spain closes airspace to U.S. military flights tied to Iran operations, expands ban on joint bases Spain has closed its national airspace to U.S. military aircraft involved in operations against Iran and expanded an earlier prohibition on using jointly‑operated southern airbases. The measure, linked to flights associated with "Operation Epic Fury," increases pressure on U.S. aerial logistics and European basing options.
