SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - Alaska Airlines' novel approach to SFO flight delays

Quote:

Fresh off its completed merger with Virgin America, Alaska Airlines is utilizing a new strategy to steer clear of weather issues at San Francisco International Airport by rerouting some flights to Oakland International and Mineta San Jose airports-- and then bussing passengers back to SFO.
This is possible because Alaska operates robust schedules at both OAK and SJC, which rarely experience delays caused by weather. It also helps that the airline has all the necessary employees and equipment at all three airports to accommodate re-routed flights.
