Oakland is appearing to take a page out of Houston's, Chicago's, New York's, and Dallas' books- incorporating a second "San Francisco" airport with a possible name change. The Port of Oakland has proposed a possible name change to the Oakland airport, renaming it from Metropolitan Oakland International Airport to San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport.

The name change proposal was prompted by consistent comments from local travelers who've expressed "their desire" for more direct flights for domestic and international destinations, and for that to happen, outside travelers "need to learn that OAK is located in the San Francisco Bay Area," close to several top destinations in the region.
