Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport will be allowed to keep its current name, ending a years-long naming dispute involving OAK and San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
Officials in both cities announced Tuesday that a settlement has been reached and both parties will drop their respective lawsuits.
“When more visitors come to the Bay Area, our entire region benefits. San Francisco cares deeply about the success of all of our Bay Area airports and tourist destinations,” San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu said in a statement. “We are pleased that we could come to a mutual resolution that accomplishes Oakland’s goals while still protecting the San Francisco International Airport® trademark.”
