Massive 63% Flight Surge: San José Braces For Super Bowl Travel Chaos

Hosting the Super Bowl almost always throws off an airport’s rhythm, but at San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC), we are seeing an uncharacteristically large spike in departures. Flight schedules into and out of the facility are surging by roughly 63%, packing more departures into the same runways, gates, and airspace that usually handle a calmer set of traffic into and out of Silicon Valley and the Southern Bay.
