Aviation Facts & Figures

Oakland Airport (OAK) is the main airport for the greater East Bay, the most populated area in the metropolitan San Francisco Bay area. It is the closest airport to most Bay Area employers. By roadway and BART air-rail, OAK enables excellent access to all of the region’s business, entertainment and tourism venues. The vision of OAK is to be the airport of choice for San Francisco Bay Area residents and visitors alike. OAK is operated by the Port of Oakland, which also oversees the Oakland seaport and 20 miles of East Bay waterfront. Together with its business partners, the Port supports more than 98,000 jobs in the region with more than a $174 billion economic impact.

Since 1927, the Port of Oakland has exclusively owned and operated Oakland Airport (OAK), which is conveniently located on the shores of the San Francisco Bay in Oakland, California. OAK is the closest airport to a majority of Bay Area residents and provides an efficient and reliable option for air travelers into and out of the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

OAK is not owned or operated by, or affiliated with, the San Francisco International Airport (SFO), which is located in San Mateo County and is owned and operated by the City and County of San Francisco.
