The San Mateo County Supervisors are concerned about the economic impact and potential confusion arising from the proposed name change of Oakland International Airport.
Passengers arrive at Oakland International Airport’s Terminal 1 in Oakland, Calif., on Monday, July 24, 2023. Terminal 1 was built in 1962 and will soon be undergoing renovation. Oakland International Airport wants to add “San Francisco Bay” to its name. But San Mateo County, where San Francisco International Airport is located, says not so fast.
“The concern is that it would cause confusion where passengers would accidentally book a ticket to Oakland when they meant to book a ticket to SFO,” said Supervisor Dave Pine, the resolution’s author, during a board meeting this week. Although SFO is technically part of San Francisco, it is located in San Mateo County, which receives the most economic benefit from SFO, one of the two busiest airports in the state.The airport generated $6.34 billion for San Mateo County in 2021 and employs at least 10,000 people, according to SFO’s latest available data. San Mateo County estimates it earned around $98 million in taxes from the airport that same period.
