San Francisco Makes Major Agreement In Airport Dispute With Oakland
Published on April 28, 2026.
San Francisco has settled a two-year legal dispute with Oakland, allowing the city to include "San Francisco" in its airport's name if it does not highlight the two words in any other way. The settlement allows Oakland's airport to be called "Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport," but prohibits highlighting "SanFrancisco" or "San San Francisco" or these words in fonts, highlights, different colors, and prohibits the use of the word "world" even if the city provides international flights. The dispute began in 2024 when Oakland changed its airport’s name to “San Francisco-Oakland Bay Airport”, leading to San Francisco officials suing for a trademark violation.
