Airport
Overview
Oakland
International Airport also known as Metropolitan Oakland International
Airport, is a public airport located 4 NM (7.4 km; 4.6 mi)
south of the central business district of Oakland, a city
in Alameda County, California, United States. It is owned
by the Port of Oakland.
OAK has
proven a popular alternative to San Francisco International.
In 2008, 11.5 million passengers used the airport. Another
convenience of OAK over SFO—in relation to the success
of Southwest—is OAK's history of a high, on-time arrival
percentage (of total flights inbound), despite many days of
rainy and foggy weather for some months in each city. For
2009, OAK had the highest on-time arrival percentage among
the 40 busiest North American airports.
