We had hoped Oakland would come to its senses, but their refusal to collaborate on an acceptable alternative name leaves us no choice but to file a lawsuit to protect SFO's trademark... This new name will cause confusion and chaos for travelers, which will damage the travel industry for the entire region.
We want to see the entire Bay Area thrive as a tourist destination and expand our offerings to visitors, but the renaming is not a legal or practical way to go about it.
As the Chronicle reports, Chiu shared screenshots from the website for Azores Airlines, which flies out of Oakland, showing that a search for 'San Francisco' already brings up both SFO and San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport.
