Flight delays across the United States have reached their highest levels since 2007, with 22% of all flights delayed through July, according to new data from Hearst Television’s Get the Facts data team. <\/p>\n

Sacramento International Airport is performing better than the national average, with only 20.2% of flights delayed. In comparison, San Francisco International Airport recorded the highest percentage of delayed flights in the country, with 36% of all flights delayed upon arrival. <\/p>\n

Weather is not the leading cause of delays, the data revealed. <\/p>\n

Issues such as late aircraft, crew problems, maintenance, heavy traffic, and air traffic delays far outnumber weather-related delays. <\/p>\n

So far this year, Sacramento International was also a slightly better airport option than Oakland or Reno in terms of flight delays, the analysis noted.<\/p>\n
