Yes, Oakland Airport Is Changing Its Name Again
- The Port of Oakland announced on Friday, 2025, it is renaming Oakland International Airport to Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport, pending formal adoption.
- This renaming comes after San Francisco filed a lawsuit against Oakland in 2023, claiming trademark infringement related to Oakland’s previous attempt to rename its airport to a title prominently featuring San Francisco.
- Port Director of Aviation Craig Simon and others plan to ask the Port Board on July 10 to officially adopt the new name emphasizing Oakland's priority and geographical location on the Bay.
- Simon emphasized that the recent renaming effort focuses on highlighting Oakland’s prominence, and he confirmed that the airport’s three-letter code, OAK, will stay the same while the legal dispute continues.
- The new name aims to highlight Oakland’s identity and Bay Area centrality while legal rulings, including a November 2024 injunction, currently require use of the old name during the dispute.
