Oakland officials have voted in favor of changing the name of the city’s airport to San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport, despite San Francisco threatening a lawsuit over what it says is a trademark violation.
The Board of Commissioners for the Port of Oakland voted unanimously Thursday to move forward with the name-change and scheduled a second vote for final approval on May 9. The airport is currently called Oakland International Airport. Oakland airport officials have said travelers unfamiliar with the region fly into San Francisco’s airport even if their destination is closer to the Oakland airport across the Bay.
One person quipped, 'When are we renaming the 49ers? #SantaClara.' The San Francisco 49ers play at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, which sits just outside San Jose and is about 45 miles south of San Francisco. Craig Simon, the Port of Oakland’s interim aviation director, said Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, as it's officially known, lost 39 of 54 new routes added from July 2008 to March 2024.
