Oakland Airport Unanimously Renamed to San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport Despite Lawsuit
May 10, 2024, 10:00 PM
The Oakland Board of Port Commissioners has unanimously voted to rename the Metropolitan Oakland International Airport to San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport. This decision was made despite a federal trademark lawsuit from the city of San Francisco, which argues that the new name could confuse travelers. Oakland officials have countered this claim, stating the change aims to clarify the airport's proximity to San Francisco, approximately 15 miles away. The city of Oakland has requested a judge to dismiss the lawsuit, asserting that there is no intent to deceive fliers.
