"Oakland Airport Mulls Adding 'San Francisco Bay' to Name for Increased Traffic"

Oakland Airport is considering changing its name to San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport to increase awareness of its proximity to San Francisco and attract more travelers. The airport officials believe that the current lack of geographic awareness among travelers has led to missed opportunities for increased traffic. While the potential name change is aimed at capitalizing on the airport's location, the biggest game changer for the airport may be ensuring that Oakland is consistently included in searches for San Francisco flights.
