Cloudy weather causes up to 50-minute delays for arriving flights

A ground delay program will be in effect for most of the day Friday for flights arriving at San Francisco International Airport due to reduced visibility, an airport duty manager said.

The delays began at 9 a.m. and are expected to continue through 5 p.m. as low clouds blanket the area, SFO Airport Duty Manager Linda Perry said.

Flights could be delayed by up to 50 minutes, Perry said.
