"The airport shall heretofore be known as Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport. The two sides have settled the case, and this is the compromise they reached after the Port of Oakland had initially settled on 'San Francisco-Oakland Bay Airport.'"
"Oakland's airport will not be able to use 'SF' when referring to itself, or in any hashtags on social media, according to the agreement. And the words 'San Francisco' must always be followed by 'Bay' in reference to the airport."
"Neither side admitted liability, and no money changed hands, as the Chronicle reports. The legal documents settling the dispute were all signed last week with little fanfare."
"SFO director Mike Nakornkhet issued a statement saying that the agreement should provide 'clarity' to air travelers so that they can make 'informed decisions' about where to fly."
Oakland Airport will be officially named Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport following a legal settlement with San Francisco officials. The Port of Oakland's attempt to use 'San Francisco-Oakland Bay Airport' was modified to avoid confusion with SFO. The agreement prohibits the use of 'SF' and mandates that 'San Francisco' must always be followed by 'Bay.' No liability was admitted, and no financial compensation was exchanged. A list of prohibited names was established to prevent further disputes over naming conventions.
