Each selected intern will have customized rotations in several of the following participating sections: Contracts Administration, Design and Construction, Landside, Noise Abatement, Planning, Safety and Health, Signage/Wayfinding, and Operations/TerminalSystems.
This program is limited to one year. We encourage interns to apply to other positions at SFO after the internship, but there is no guarantee of employment transition.

Position Paper Topic:
Airport Capacity and Long-term Growth – SFO is a very land-constrained Airport located 14 miles south of downtown San Francisco in an unincorporated area of San Mateo County between U.S. Highway 101 and San Francisco Bay. The Airport has two sets of closely spaced parallel runways. In poor weather, the Airport’s capacity declines to approximately half of its good weather capacity.
The San Francisco Airport Commission does not currently plan to expand SFO’s airfield capacity given the financial cost and environmental considerations associated with new or reconfigured runways, which would require significant Bay fill and environmental mitigation. The Airport’s current approach to managing demand and making the most efficient use of its limited capacity is to (1) promote the use and development of regional airport capacity to better serve the Greater Bay Area’s air transportation needs, (2) evaluate and implement advanced aviation technology to increase airfield capacity during poor weather and (3) assess and implement demand management measures to encourage the use of larger aircraft and reduce airline scheduling in peak periods. What ideas do you have for addressing the Airport and the region’s long-term aviation demands and capacity constraints at SFO?
