"A source at one airline has told me that his carrier routinely sees a couple of people a week show up at SFO when they've actually booked a flight out of Oakland," Harteveldt said, highlighting the confusion caused by the name change.
Harteveldt says the airport's renaming is an attempt by Oakland leaders to attract more travelers and money to the East Bay hub, but points out that it’s not the name that influences flight operations.
"Any time you change your name, I think it's kind of dumb. Because if you've been known for however many years, why change it?" said Brad Hurst, expressing skepticism about the effectiveness of the name change.
