Air travel at the Bay Area’s three airports has finally begun to soar after taking a nosedive during the pandemic, but plenty of obstacles now confront travelers seeking to get out and about as the hazards from the coronavirus begin to recede.

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 17: Airline passengers rush past a balloon sculpture of a British phone booth at Mineta San Jose International Airport, Friday, June 17, 2022, where British Airways recently announced a new non-stop from San Jose to London’s Heathrow Airport. A rebound is also underway for airports throughout the United States, according to Brett Snyder, founder and author of the Cranky Flier airline industry site, surging dramatically from last summer.

Even so, air travelers must navigate a forbidding landscape if they want to fly. Skyrocketing fuel costs, a lack of aircraft, a shortage of skilled pilots and a quest by airlines to ratchet up ticket prices as they scramble to recover from pandemic-linked economic woes are all adding to the list of air travel obstacles.

Monthly passenger activity at the Bay Area’s three aviation hubs still remains far lower than prior to the outbreak of the coronavirus in March 2020, when federal, state and local government agencies imposed wide-ranging business shutdowns and limited travel. But there are encouraging signs. Passenger levels at all three travel hubs are up from a year ago, according to statistics released by the trio of international airports.
