Oakland airport can use ‘San Francisco'

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco has settled a two-year legal fight with its neighbor across the bay that will allow the city of Oakland to include “San Francisco” in its airport's name if it doesn't highlight the two words in any way.

The settlement announced Tuesday allows Oakland's airport to be called “Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport,” but it bars the city from spotlighting “San Francisco” or “San Francisco Bay” in fonts, highlights, different colors or any other way.
