The Port of Oakland’s Board of Port Commissioners has voted unanimously to change the name of its airport to Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport (OAK) to reflect the airport’s Bay Area location. The Port of Oakland had initially proposed to call OAK the San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport, which sparked opposition from nearby San Francisco International Airport.
“We are proud to be a central gateway to the Bay Area, and we’re proud to embrace a name that reflects both our local roots and regional reach,” said Craig Simon, director of aviation at the Port of Oakland.
