"Travelers across the US are facing mounting flight delays on Thursday, with multiple major airports reporting departures running behind schedule. From New York to California and Florida, at least six airports are seeing delays that continue to climb. LaGuardia Airport is averaging 30-minute delays, while Philadelphia International is experiencing 15-minute delays, both attributed to 'compacted demand.' This occurs when too many flights attempt to depart in the same window, forcing controllers to space them out for safety."
"Tampa and Miami International airports are averaging 15-minute delays due to traffic management initiatives, which are designed to safely space flights through congested airspace. Newark Liberty International is seeing similar 15-minute delays caused by 'multi-taxi' congestion, which happens when multiple aircraft try to use the same taxiways and runways at the same time. Departures to San Francisco International Airport are being delayed by an average of 38 minutes from 11:30am to 6:59pm ET due to clouds covering more than half the sky."
Multiple major U.S. airports are experiencing growing departure delays across regions from New York to California and Florida, affecting at least six airports. LaGuardia averages 30-minute delays and Philadelphia International averages 15-minute delays due to compacted demand, which forces controllers to space departures when too many flights attempt the same window. Tampa and Miami average 15-minute delays from traffic management initiatives designed to space flights through congested airspace. Newark Liberty faces 15-minute delays from multi-taxi congestion when aircraft compete for taxiways and runways. Departures to San Francisco are delayed about 38 minutes during late morning to evening because of extensive cloud cover. The FAA cites peak scheduling, earlier delays, and ripple effects from nearby airports as contributing factors.
