SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the renaming of Oakland International Airport, ruling that adding “San Francisco Bay” to the name causes travelers to mistakenly believe that the East Bay airport is affiliated with or run by the same management as San Francisco’s airport.

A judge has temporarily ordered Oakland International Airport in California to stop using the name "San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport" as the cities' legal battle plays out.

A federal judge has ordered the Port of Oakland to stop using San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport as its airport’s new name while a lawsuit by the city of San Francisco over copyright infringement is ongoing.
