San Francisco and the Port of Oakland settled a trademark lawsuit over the Oakland airport’s name, which will remain the Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport, the two cities announced on April 28.

In March 2024, the Port of Oakland, which owns and operates the airport, renamed the Oakland International Airport to the San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport, saying the airport had trouble securing nonstop flights because of its name.
