OAKLAND — Officials have voted to combine Oakland International Airport with the name San Francisco Bay, a shift crafted to spur economic growth and a higher profile — a move that also may unleash a legal war.
San Francisco International Airport officials, however, expressed dismay about the name change and some San Francisco officials have threatened a lawsuit to block the move. “The lack of geographic awareness by inbound passengers has created challenges for our airport partners,” said Craig Simon, Oakland’s acting director of aviation. “This is not just about marketing. This is about the lack of awareness about Oakland.”
The NAACP requested that the Port board delay the vote for two to four weeks. The board’s president replied that the Thursday vote was the first reading of an ordinance to change the name, and as such, officially only signaled the board’s intent to change the name. The final vote on the matter is scheduled for May.
