The screenshot shows 55 minute travel times, is that real? Current airlines generally schedule 1h25 to 1h45.

- FireBeyond 9y agoWhile a 737 cruises at 340 knots CAS (calibrated air speed), an ERJ 145 has a high speed cruising speed of 450 knots. Add to that less leeway for some of the delays inherent to gates, and I could see that being the case.
- dx034 9y agoYou'll still lose time taxiing, waiting for take off and after landing, especially during busy times. I doubt they can make it in <1h block time.
- dannyminutillo 9y agoYes, that's real. SFO to LAX takes about 55 minutes in the air. We have faster turn around than major airlines when we're on the ground because of the private terminals
- gok 9y agoSo the times are from takeoff to landing, not door closing to door opening? And where is there space at SFO for a new private terminal? :) Edit: Ohh I didn't realize that Delta just stopped their shuttle [1] ... are you just using those gates?
