Theft is really high in that area, they even steal another airport's name and expect no consequences.

The Original SF International Airport 😅
What a waste of taxpayer money. The only winners are the attorneys with huge fees, for this legal battle. They could have used "Oakland airport at San Francisco Bay", which is more clear and satisfies both sides.
As if Oakland doesn't have enough problems to deal with, they want to pick a legal fight with San Francisco??? Incompetence leads to more incompetence. What a sad state of affairs.

Yup. Oakland should focus on solving its issues to improve its own brand instead of ruining SF reputation

Even Oakland hates Oakland
So SFO stands for “San Francisco Oakland”

O for "Original"
No....of all the things going on, changing the name of the Oakland Airport is a distraction and an extra layer of confusion. Who's running this clown show?

Oakland is a city and the airport is in Oakland. So, Oakland Airport. Pathetic. So weak.
Honestly I can't blame them. Who wants to be affiliated with Oakland?
No, when people say Chicago, I think OHARE not Midway. When people say Houston I think Intercontinental not Hobby. When people say Dallas, I think DFW not Love Field. When people say New York I think JFK not Newark or LaGuardia or even ISLIP. When people say Los Angeles, they mean LAX. If they mean Burbank they'll say Burbank or Bob Hope. If they mean Ontario, they'll say Ontario, if they mean Orange County, they'll say John Wayne. And yes, these are all LAX World Airports but they are NOT all Los Angeles. They are respective to their own cities. OAKLAND IS NOT SAN FRANCISCO as much as it desperately wants to be. IT NEVER WILL BE.
It's simple, who wants to land in a airport related to crime and killing 😮
"Dont get shot, Airport"
Oakland wants to be the anchor baby of San Francisco to attract traveler and tourist. The area near by Oakland Airport is a war zone. 😅
Geezus, pretending like it's the "San Francisco Bay" that people want to go to when traveling into SFO. The fact that the officials voted on this even after San Francisco saying "we'll sue you if you do" and they still do it. So remember Oakland the next time you get a ticket and it costs more than you remember, or that there's less city services, it's because these supervisors decided to be defiant and now they need to pay for a lawsuit.
Like applying a bandaid to a broken leg😢
Why? San Francisco is on the other side.
🙄🙄🙄 asked for by literally no one.
The poor deceived travelers are going to get dropped off in Oaklandishu
Oh hell no
If it ain't broken .. don't fix it ...🤦🙄
How about renaming it…Oakland Bay Area-HIGH CRIME airport
Can you blame them?
The airport isn’t in San Francisco it’s in San Bruno lmao so how does an airport that isn’t technically in the city has trademarked
@kaliboyred69

The name “San Francisco” is trade marked. It was trade marked for this very reason, so that other airports can’t just decide one day that they too want to be called San Francisco. It doesn’t matter if the airport is directly located in S.F. or not.

It's Oakland, that's what's wrong
Another reason to not want to have anything to do with Oakland, CA.
No one in Oakland wants this name change. And in 2024 if you are confused about which airport to fly in, you must not know how to access maps on your phone. Lord have mercy. I will pray for you.
I'm total for the name change. Look at what happened to E14th Street when they changed it's name to International Blvd.
Stupid! We know Oakland the most dangerous city in America!
Also, in a totally different County. Too weird.
Oakland is now East San Francisco.. San Jose is South San Francisco.. wait.. there's already one of those...
This is so stupid and honestly embarrassing
Yeah, I live in San Francisco oak
It’s both because I’ve met people that don’t even know Oakland is in the Bay Area
Oakland Leadership Loses Walmart, Target, Taco Bell, Denny's, Embarcadero Mall LOL, G.S. Warriors, Oakland Raiders, Oakland A's... And now they hide the name Oakland by confusing people with the airports. LOL.. Here COME 200,000 New Comers LOL!
Less flights? It is an airport correct?
This was stupid. The problem was marketing of OAK. Can’t find their airport code on most travel websites. Fix that and you could have fixed the problem. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
No one wants to have anything to do with Oakland. Even if you change the name.
Do something like Oakland of East SF Bay.
The only thing this is going to do is confuse travelers, piss them off and make them never want to come to Oakland!
Oakland, California - Hub of the West!!
Here's the kicker: SFO ISN'T IN SAN FRANCISCO EITHER.
Change the name from Oakland airport to somebodies name or don't change it at all. Imagine if JFK and LaGuardia were both called had New York in their name
Keep it San Francisco international airport as original no name changes
Don't sugar coat it, it's Joe Dirt.
Is it Oakland or San Francisco? 🤔🤔🤔
A lot of international travelers will see San Francisco then get dumped in hell hole Oakland.
Oakland and San Francisco turning into 3rd world dumps and they’re more concerned about renaming the airport 😂😂😂😂😂
SFO vs SFBO
Total waste of time and money. The SF East Bay, sorry Oakland city council has more freaking things to worry about! How about focusing on the CRIME?
too much free time
It is not going to increase travelers or change the criminal reality of Oakland. People from out of the country could mistakenly book a fllight to SF, but end up clicking on SF Bay Are instead. All the sudden they are a victim of armed robbery or something while trying to flee a place they wanted to intentionally avoided at all costs. Boon to local criminals if it actually works. Good news is that the name change won't do anything .
What a waste of energy. The change to the perspective of Oakland is changing the cruddy culture that has developed in the last 10 years.
Daft ..no
Why don't you just call it the Airport. Like you call San Francisco, The City ,or the warriors. Simple names take away the Hierarchy.
Oakland put itself on the World Map with its rampant crime. They should be proud of themselves.
So dumb lol
I HAVE AN AN IDEA: OAKLAND INTERNATIOINAL ON THE SF BAY. OR RENAME IT AFTER JACK LONDON.
Stop clout chasing.
oaklander behavior
Absolute trash
haha, name change ...will do nothing to improve oakland
It should be called OAKLAND, so you know to avoid it all costs. No one in their right mind wants to land in Oakland for any reason. Oakland is the Chernobyl of America. Avoid it at all costs. You will save your life if you do.
Nothing good comes out of east bay
Tourist will be robbed in two places anyways
Oakland: Old PCL Oaks: played some of their games at Seals Stadium when their park in Emeryville was too small for the expected attendance, Raider's first two years in San Francisco, 1960 and 61, late 60's Oakland poaches the hockey Seals and Warriors from SF. Nothing unusual here.
Instead the do nothing government change the name in Oakland airport. The do nothing government should be focus to work for California. Is really embarrassing Is disgasting unsafe derty etc
