Oakland's airport considers adding 'San Francisco' to its name. San Francisco isn't happy about it

Oakland's airport is considering a name-change to include “San Francisco” to attract more passengers. But San Francisco officials are slamming the move, saying it will confuse travelers since there is already a San Francisco International Airport. The Board of Commissioners for the Port of Oakland will take up the question at its Thursday board meeting. Oakland airport officials say travelers unfamiliar with the region fly into San Francisco’s airport even if their destination is closer to the East Bay airport. San Francisco's Board of Supervisors has introduced a resolution opposing the name change.
