Widespread Rain, Winds Cause 67 Flight Cancellations at SFO

The intense rain and gusty winds caused havoc across streets in the Bay Area, as well as outages in some areas and flight delays at SFO. Sergio Quintana reports.

A total of 67 flights were cancelled Saturday at San Francisco International Airport due to weather related problems, officials said.

A SFO Duty Manager said the cancellations were short-haul flights to places like Eureka and Santa Barbara. Officials decided to cancel those specific flights as a way to free up runways for long-haul flights.

Other airports like Oakland International Airport and Norman Y. Mineta International Airport in San Jose had a few delays, but no cancellations.

A power outage at Oakland International Airport Tuesday evening caused delays and cancellations, and operations were just getting back to normal almost a full day later, an airport spokesperson said. Scott Budman reports.

Earlier this week, a power outage at Oakland International Airport caused delays and cancellations and operations went back to normal almost a full day later.
