SFO Airport/Community Roundtable
Since 1981, the Roundtable has been an independent committee comprised primarily of elected local officials representing the residents of the City and County of San Francisco and San Mateo County and its twenty cities. The Roundtable seeks to reduce aircraft noise to the community through collaboration among the stakeholders – the Roundtable, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), SFO management, the airline industry, elected officials and the public.
The authority to control the routes of aircraft in flight
and on the ground is vested exclusively in the FAA
SFO Airport management, the Roundtable, or local elected officials cannot control the routes of aircraft in flight or on the ground. The FAA (with rare exceptions), SFO management or the Roundtable cannot control the number of flights nor the time of day of aircraft operations.
Federal law preempts local government agencies
from implementing any action that is intended to
control the routes or operation of aircraft in flight.
