Max Harrison-Caldwell, reporting for The San Francisco Standard:

In 2024, the port — which manages the Oakland airport — changed the name from Oakland International Airport to San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport, hoping to entice travelers by emphasizing the hub’s proximity to SF. At the time, the number of people flying into Oakland was declining after a brief post-pandemic rebound, and the airport was losing routes.

The effort largely failed, while having the secondary impact of annoying San Francisco leaders, who swiftly sued, arguing that the name would confuse travelers. In 2025, the port swapped the two cities within the name to produce “Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport.”

San Francisco didn’t like that either, but the parties entered mediation in December and have now settled. The new name is fine, as long as “Oakland” always appears before “San Francisco” in all materials and the airport does not add the letters SF to its code, OAK.

The Standard ran this under the cheeky headline “Little-Known Bay Area City Will Keep San Francisco in Its Airport’s Name”, which is a little funny, but I don’t see the need to punch down like this. Nobody calls the city “San Francisco” anyway. Everyone just calls it “San Fran” or “Frisco”, either of which names are acceptable.
