The name change would have added “San Francisco Bay” to Oakland International Airport’s name.

SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the renaming of Oakland International Airport, ruling that adding “San Francisco Bay” to the name would cause travelers to mistakenly believe that the East Bay airport is affiliated with or run by the same management as San Francisco’s airport.
“The court order temporarily blocks OAK’s new name on the basis of the third type of alleged confusion: that travelers may think OAK is affiliated with SFO,” Port of Oakland spokesperson Robert Bernardo said in a statement. “OAK is not associated with SFO, of course, but is rather a convenient and centrally located option for travelers throughout the Bay Area.”A representative from the San Francisco City Attorney’s Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
