Overview

• The Port of Oakland Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a second renaming of Oakland International Airport to “Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport.”
• A final vote on July 24 could cement the name change if ongoing litigation in the Ninth Circuit does not block it.
• San Francisco International Airport renewed objections, arguing the new name risks traveler confusion and jeopardizes its established brand identity.
• Oakland officials say the updated name prioritizes Oakland’s role and highlights the airport’s central location in the Bay Area to boost passenger traffic.
• The airport will keep its OAK code and existing “I Fly OAK” branding even under the new moniker.
