Oakland International Airport (IATA: OAK, ICAO: KOAK, FAA LID: OAK) is five miles south of downtown Oakland, in Alameda County, California. It is owned by the Port of Oakland.[1][3] It is one of three international airports in the San Francisco Bay Area. The airport has passenger service to cities in the United States, Mexico and Europe. Cargo flights fly to cities in the United States, Canada and Japan. OAK is the closest airport to the San Francisco financial district—both geographically and by public transit.

Oakland is a focus city for Southwest Airlines and Allegiant Air. As of August 2015 Southwest has 120 daily departures on peak-travel days of the week.[4] Alaska Airlines combined with sister-carrier Horizon Air has been the second-busiest carrier at OAK through 2013. Beginning January 2014, Delta will overtake Alaska as OAK's No. 2 carrier.[5]

The top five airlines by passenger count between October 2014 – September 2015 were Southwest Airlines (71.08), Alaska Airlines (6.28%), Spirit Airlines (4.48%), Hawaiian Airlines (3.72%), JetBlue Airways (3.49%).[6] Between October 2014 and September 2015, 10,947,066 people traveled through OAK.[6]

Passengers peaked in 2007 at 14.6 million and declined to 9.3 million in 2011.[7] An advantage of OAK over SFO is OAK's history of a high on-time arrival percentage, despite many days of rainy and foggy weather in each city. In 2009 OAK had the highest on-time arrival percentage among the 40 busiest North American airports.[8][9]

It was the location of Naval Air Station Oakland. (The former Naval Air Station Alameda is closer to the San Francisco Bay Bridge.)

History

Early years

The city of Oakland looked into the construction of an airport starting in 1925. In 1927 the announcement of the Dole prize for a flight from California to Hawaii provided the incentive to purchase 680 acres in April 1927 for the airport.[10][11] The 7,020-foot-long runway was the longest in the world at the time, and was built in just 21 days to meet the Dole race start. The airport was dedicated by Charles Lindbergh September 17. In its early days, because of its long runway enabling safe takeoff rolls for fuel-heavy aircraft, Oakland was the departing point of several historic flights, including Charles Kingsford Smith's historic US-Australia flight in 1928, and Amelia Earhart's final flight in 1937. Earhart departed from this airport when she made her final, ill-fated voyage, intending to return there after circumnavigating the globe.[12]

Boeing Air Transport (a predecessor of United Airlines) began scheduled flights to Oakland in December 1927. It was joined by Trans World Airlines (TWA) in 1932. In 1929, Boeing opened the Boeing School of Aeronautics on the field, which expanded rapidly in 1939 as part of the Civilian Pilot Training Program. Thousands of pilots and mechanics were trained before the facility was changed into the United Air Lines training center in 1945.[13]

In 1943, the U.S. Armed Forces temporarily took over Oakland Airport and opened Naval Air Station Oakland. It was transformed into an airlift base for military flights to the Pacific islands, ordering all scheduled service to move to San Francisco International Airport. After the war, airlines slowly returned to Oakland; Western Airlines began flights in 1946, and was followed by American Airlines, TWA, United, Transocean Airlines and Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA).

The airport's first Jet Age airline terminal (now Terminal 1) was designed by John Carl Warnecke & Associates and opened in 1962, part of a $20 million expansion on bay fill that included the 10,000-foot runway 11/29.[14] The May 1963 OAG showed 15 airline flights arriving in Oakland each day, including nine from San Francisco; in June 1963, TWA flew Oakland's first scheduled jet, a Convair 880, to Chicago.[12]

During the Vietnam War, World Airways shuttled thousands of military passengers through Oakland to their bases in Southeast Asia, and an international arrivals facility was built, allowing the airport to handle international flights for the first time. By the late 1960s, World Airways had broken ground on the World Airways Maintenance Center at Oakland International Airport. The maintenance hangar could store four Boeing 747's.[12]

After the war Oakland's traffic slumped, but airline deregulation prompted several low-fare carriers to begin flights. This increase prompted the airport to build a $16.3 million second terminal, the Lionel J. Wilson Terminal 2, with seven gates for PSA and AirCal service.[12] In 1987 an Air France Concorde visited Oakland to provide supersonic two-hour flights to the Pacific halfway to Hawaii and back to Oakland.

FedEx Express opened a cargo base at OAK in 1988, which is now one of the busiest air freight terminals in the United States. In the 1990s, Southwest Airlines opened a crew base in Oakland, and expanded its flights to become the airport's dominant passenger carrier. The airport has international arrival facilities, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials. Mexicana Airlines flew between Oakland and cities in Mexico for many years. In the past Corsairfly flew Orly Airport to OAK to Papeete, Tahiti, Martinair flew to Schiphol Airport and CityBird flew to Brussels Airport in Brussels.[12]

2000s

United Airlines vacated its 300,000 sq ft (30,000 m2) Oakland Maintenance Center in May 2003 and transferred work to its base across the bay at San Francisco International Airport (SFO).

Oakland International Airport began a $300 million expansion and renovation project in 2004, including adding five gates in Terminal 2. The new concourse partially opened in fall 2006, was fully opened by spring 2007, and a new baggage claim in Terminal 2 opened in summer 2006. The former Terminal 2 baggage claim has been replaced by a renovated and expanded security screening area. As part of this program, airport roadways, curbsides and parking lots were also renovated by the end of 2008.[12]

In 2008 Oakland saw a series of cutbacks due to high fuel costs and airline bankruptcies, more than other Bay Area airports. In just a few days, Oakland's numerous non-stops to Hawaii were eliminated following the liquidation of ATA Airlines and Aloha Airlines, although Hawaiian Airlines started a daily flight to Honolulu a month later. Skybus Airlines stopped flying to Columbus, OH when it ended operations on April 5. American Airlines and Continental Airlines both dropped Oakland on September 3, United Airlines ended service to Los Angeles on November 2, and TACA ended service to San Salvador on September 1.

New air traffic control tower

A groundbreaking ceremony for a new control tower took place October 15, 2010. A grant awarded to the Federal Aviation Administration from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) helped fund the project. The new, environmentally "green" tower was opened in 2013 and replaced the previous north and south field towers. The new tower was formally dedicated in a ceremony on November 22, 2013.[15]

BART to Oakland International Airport

A long-proposed extension of the BART system to the airport opened on November 22, 2014, allowing passengers to board BART people mover trains and transport from the BART Coliseum station platform to the front of the terminals.[16] The new system consists of a mostly elevated structure, running the length of the busy Hegenberger Road business corridor in Oakland.[17]

Electric vehicle charging services

The Port of Oakland and Coulomb Technologies has announced that electric vehicle (EV) driver services have arrived at Oakland International Airport (OAK) with the installation of eight ChargePoint Network charging stations for EVs in the Premier Parking Lot.

Oakland International is the first Northern California airport to offer EV charging services as part of the ChargePoint Network, providing drivers EV services including real-time charging station status and reservations.

Noise management program

For more than 30 years, OAK has worked with its stakeholders to develop programs that minimize the effect of aircraft noise, to the extent possible, on surrounding communities, while maintaining a safe and efficient air transportation center. Through regularly scheduled stakeholder meetings, a sophisticated noise-monitoring system, proactive communications with neighboring communities and pilot education, the airport has successfully lessened the impact of its operations on neighboring communities, in order to improve their quality of life.

Master Plan

For nearly a century, Oakland International has served the shipping and travel needs of the San Francisco Bay Area. The original airfield was built in 1927 and is still used by air cargo, corporate and general aviation operators. In 1962 a new terminal (Terminal 1), 10,000-foot runway and 10-story air traffic control tower was built to usher in the jet-age. Terminal 2 was opened in 1985 and is now used solely by Southwest Airlines.[12]

In 2008 OAK completed its $300 million Terminal Improvement Program, with projects that added a new concourse with five more gates and waiting areas expanded ticketing, security and baggage claim facilities added new utilities and improved terminal access and eased congestion in front of the terminals through a new roadway and curbside system. These projects are one part of the ongoing Airport Development Program (ADP).[12]

Even at the completion of these projects, there is already demand driving the need for additional infrastructure improvements. The main planning tool to provide guidance on near-term and long-term Airport land-use is a Master Plan. The airport's 20-year Master Plan was completed in 2006, with input from the OAK Aviation Stakeholder Advisory Committee.[12]

Environmental Management

Oakland International Airport, a revenue division of the Port of Oakland, takes a leadership role in promoting a sustainable operating environment—whether that's looking at current day-to-day operations or forecasting future needs and requirements.

The Port of Oakland is an independent department of the city of Oakland and is required to do its part to be a good neighbor, an environmental steward, and a responsible business operator in its efforts to support the city's sustainability goals. Through its efforts, the Port of Oakland contributed to the recent recognition of the city of Oakland as one of the best examples of urban sustainability at the 2005 United Nations World Environment Day conference in San Francisco.

The Port of Oakland has adopted a sustainability policy, also known as the "Three E's," that is based on the values of environmental responsibility, economic vitality and social equity.

On September 14, 2009, OAK was the scene where Malaysia-based AirAsia honored its new partners, the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League (NFL). The airline's affiliate, AirAsia X had one of their planes full of its executives and crew members "touch down" at OAK in acknowledgment of the to-be announced sponsorship. AirAsia executives have new optimism that service between the U.S. and the airline's main base in Kuala Lumpur, could possibly happen earlier than originally expected.[18] [19]

Allegiant Air inaugurated service at OAK in February 2009, with flights to Bellingham, Washington twice weekly. Service is however doubled, from two to four arrivals and departures each through the summer months, along with added flights during the winter-holiday period. Later in the year, the airline also added service between OAK and Eugene Airport in Oregon twice weekly. In November 2011, Allegiant announced new services between Mesa, AZ and OAK beginning January 18, 2012; in April 2012 services to destinations in Oregon, Idaho and Montana also began, making Oakland a new focus city for the airline.[20]

Adding to Hawaiian Airlines' service to Honolulu, Alaska Airlines added nonstop service to Kona with three flights weekly, and Kahului (Maui) daily, both were unserved prior to Alaska's entrance.[21] A fourth restored destination, Lihue (Kauai), began in early 2011, with four flights weekly.[22] In June 2010, Hawaiian added service to Kahului and Alaska added Honolulu which began in April 2012.[23]

In August 2010, Mexicana Airlines suspended all of its flights out of the airport and its other destinations indefinitely until further notice due to financial problems.[24]

Spirit Airlines returned to OAK after several years of absence, with flights to and from Las Vegas that started in August 2011.[25] During the previous decade, Spirit had service from OAK to Detroit.[26] Spirit announced a second daily nonstop flight between Dallas-Fort Worth and OAK that began on April 25, 2013.[27] On January 29, 2014, Spirit announced a third daily nonstop flight between Chicago's O'Hare International Airport and OAK starting May 1, 2014.[28]

Low-cost Mexican airline Volaris started service between OAK and the airline's two main locations: Guadalajara, and Toluca on July 16, 2009.[29] Although Toluca service has not resumed since its April 2010 ending, service to (nearby) Mexico City started in May 2011. OAK was the first airport in the world to receive international nonstop Volaris service to and from the country's capital. Volaris held a "commercial agreement" with Southwest, OAK's largest carrier until the latter's merger with AirTran in 2011.[30][31]

In 2012, Oakland International Airport celebrated its 85th Anniversary, commemorating the first transpacific crossing by air from OAK to Hawaii, on June 29, 1927 in The Bird of Paradise, flown by Hegenberger and Maitland.

On June 3, 2012, United Airlines discontinued operations at OAK.[32]

In mid-2012, Arkefly chose OAK as a San Francisco Bay Area Gateway flying twice-weekly to Amsterdam. Arkefly is provided 18 weeks of scheduled service in the summers of 2012 and 2013.[33]

Terminal 1 is currently undergoing a $200 million upgrade. This building will be renovated and seismically retrofitted over the next few years. Future improvements include larger restrooms, replacing concourse carpeting with terrazzo floors, new airline ticketing and check-in areas, food, beverage and retail concession improvements, and improved universal access and overall comfort and convenience enhancements.

In 2013, FedEx opened a $30 million upgrade of its hub facility at OAK, including additions to accommodate the airline's new Boeing 777 fleet.

On September 3, Norwegian Air Shuttle (DY) announced new, year-round flights from OAK to Oslo (OSL) and Stockholm (ARN). The new flights will begin in May 2014 using the new state-of-the art Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft seating 291 passengers. The flights are the first-ever nonstop services offered from the two Scandinavian capitals to the San Francisco Bay Area.[34]

In 2014, Hawaiian Airlines has announced it will further expand its Oakland gateway to the islands with new nonstop flights to both Lihue Airport on Kaua'i and Kona International Airport on the Big Island. These new flights will solidify Oakland as Hawaiian's largest Bay Area gateway city and its second-largest mainland city behind LAX, in addition to being its only mainland city with flights to all four main Hawaiian islands.[35]

In May 2015, Oakland International Airport’s Moving Modern program construction commenced on a $100 million renovation of the Terminal 1 complex. The project includes seismic architectural retrofits in central buildings, replace and upgrade infrastructure and improve the passenger environment. The project is expected to be completed in Spring 2017.[36]

On December 14, 2015, Norwegian Air Shuttle (DY) announced first-ever nonstop flight from Oakland to London-Gatwick which begins on May 12, 2016.[37]

Delta Air Lines has announced it will begin service from Oakland to Atlanta starting June 16, 2016.

BART

The Coliseum–Oakland International Airport line, also known as BART to OAK Airport, is an automated guideway transit (AGT) system that connects BART Coliseum station and Oakland International Airport (BART station) terminal buildings. The AGT vehicles depart from the airport and Coliseum station every five minutes during daily peak hours, and are designed to transport travelers to and from the airport in about eight minutes with an on-time performance of more than 99 percent. The system opened on November 22, 2014.

Amtrak

The Amtrak Capitol Corridor train stops right at the BART Coliseum station. The pedestrian walkway connects both platforms.

Bus

There are three AC Transit routes that serve Oakland Airport, two during the day and one during the night.

Road

Oakland International is accessible from Interstate 880 (Nimitz Freeway) which is 2 miles (3 km) away. The airport can be reached by exiting Hegenberger Road or 98th Avenue heading west; both streets converge into Airport Road before looping around in front of the terminals.

Taxi

Taxis depart from designated taxi zones located at both Terminal 1 and 2 airport curbside.

Ride share services (or transportation network companies) such as Lyft, Uber and Wingz are available via their respective mobile apps and can be picked up and drop off at the curbside terminals.

General aviation

Landmark Aviation is the FBO (fixed-base operator) at Oakland International Airport. Landmark’s FBO at OAK is its first in the Bay Area and the twelfth location added to the network in 2011. The FBO is centrally located at OAK’s North Field in the Hangar 5 facility. Landmark has initiated a multimillion-dollar renovation project, having already upgraded the FBO terminal along with beginning hangar and property improvements.[52]
