Oakland Airport Can’t Use San Francisco in Its Name, Judge Rules
13.11.2024 - 23:33 / nytimes.com
Oakland’s international airport may not use San Francisco in its name, according to a temporary order from a federal judge this week, after the city of San Francisco complained that letting it do so would suggest it was linked to San Francisco International Airport.
The city also sought to make the case that travelers could be confused and end up at the wrong airport, but the judge denied those arguments.
This year, the Port of Oakland, which owns the Oakland airport, told the city of San Francisco of its plans to rename the airport as the San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport to make travelers aware of its location in the Bay Area.
The city of San Francisco “objected repeatedly” leading up to the official renaming in May, the city attorney’s office said in a statement on Tuesday. David Chiu, the city’s attorney, filed a lawsuit against the Port of Oakland on April 18 to protect the trademark title “San Francisco International Airport.”
The Port officially renamed the airport, which had been called Metropolitan Oakland International, after a unanimous vote of the Oakland Board of Port Commissioners, according to a news release issued by the port.
Magistrate Judge Thomas S. Hixson of U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California decided on Tuesday to temporarily block the Port of Oakland from calling itself the new name because the Port had taken San Francisco’s trademark name and “applied it to a smaller, less successful, and lower rated airport,” according to court documents. He added that the new name “strongly implies affiliation with San Francisco and the San Francisco International Airport.”

Jamaica Destination Wedding: An Old-Hollywood Celebration in Ocho Rios
Growing up in San Francisco, Caitlin de Lisser-Ellen visited her mother’s native Jamaica annually—and it was on the Caribbean island that, as a child, she had one of her first experiences of how magical a wedding could really be: At an aunt’s nuptials at Frenchman’s Cove, “a resort that was really popular in the 1950s with Hollywood people like Errol Flynn, we partied until 4:00 am,” she says. “I couldn’t tell if [it was that] I was just a child, or this was actually the coolest wedding I would ever go to. That stuck in my head as the type of wedding where people can let loose and enjoy.”
