Sand Diego is the busiest single runway commercial airport in the United states. it handles approximately 40,000 passenger arrivals/departures per day with about 300 commercial flights arriving per day. 1/3 of all flights are southwest which is the part that doesn't really help folks connecting internationally. If the entire IETF were to fly in Lindberg field on the same day that would be approximately 5% of the seats. I would suspect that more people than that fly in to visit seaworld on a given day. > Eliot > > _______________________________________________ > Ietf mailing list > Ietf@xxxxxxxx > https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
