The Oakland Board of Port Commissioners has unanimously approved the renaming of the Metropolitan Oakland International Airport to San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport. The new name aims to enhance awareness of the airport’s location on the San Francisco Bay and attract more nonstop destination options. Despite being situated on the bay for nearly a century, many travelers are unaware of its proximity to major attractions. The rebranding is part of the Port’s strategy to strengthen the airport’s role as an economic driver for Oakland and the Bay Area.
