San Francisco sues Oakland to stop it from changing the name

San FranciscoCNN —
San Francisco is suing its neighbor across the Bay over a plan to change the name of Oakland’s airport.
Earlier this month, the Port of Oakland’s commissioners voted unanimously to change the name of Oakland International Airport to “San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport.”
“The feedback we get [from airlines] … is, because there is lack of name recognition … it is hard to sell tickets inbound,” said Danny Wan, executive director for the Port of Oakland. “People do not know that Oakland is by the San Francisco Bay. That has been one of the Achilles’ heels of our marketing.”
The new name would not change the airport’s three-letter identifier, OAK.
San Francisco filed suit in federal court Thursday, requesting the court prohibit Oakland from using the name, alleging that Oakland plans to “intentionally and knowingly capitalize off of confusion.”
The City of San Francisco owns a trademark on “San Francisco International Airport,” commonly referred to by its three-letter code, SFO.

Today, if you're looking for a flight in or out of Bay Area, you'll see that it will list out 3 airports: SFO, SJC, OAK. Tourists try to avoid coming into Oakland, hence the name change ...kkakakaka

Nếu máy bay vào OAK giá rẻ hơn thì có thể attract more flyers. Chứ bằng giá như SFO thì most people will choose SFO vì nó bigger và có nhiều flights hơn in case something gets cancelled.

Oakland không xa lắm với SFO mà ranh giới 1 trời 1 vực ..
