History
Construction of the airport began in 1927, and the airport was dedicated by Charles Lindbergh that September. In its early days, 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.

Boeing Air Transport (a predecessor of United Airlines) began scheduled flights to Oakland in December 1927. It was joined by Trans World Airlines in 1932.


Aerial view of NAS Oakland in the mid-1940sIn 1943, the U.S. Armed Forces took over Oakland Airport and transformed it 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, and PSA.

The airport's first jet-age airline terminal (now Terminal 1) was opened in 1962, part of a $20 million expansion and renovation project. The 16-gate facility featured the airport's first jetways. 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 scheduled flights outside the United States for the first time.

After the war, Oakland's traffic slumped, but airline deregulation prompted several low-fare carriers to begin regional flights into the airport. This rapid increase prompted the airport to build a $16.3 million second terminal, Lionel J. Wilson Terminal 2, with seven new gates for PSA and AirCal service.

FedEx Express opened a cargo base in Oakland 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 does have international arrival facilities, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials. However, international service beyond Mexico has been sporadic. In the past, Corsair served Orly Airport in Paris, France and Papeete, Tahiti and Martinair served Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

United Airlines vacated its 300,000-square-foot (30,000 m2) Oakland Maintenance Center in May 2003 and transferred work to its remaining maintenance hub at San Francisco International Airport. UPS has expressed an interest in this location.

Since 2006, Oakland International Airport has been undergoing renovations, including adding six gates in Terminal 2. The new gates, 27-32, opened in Summer 2006 and a new baggage claim in Terminal 2 opened. The former terminal 2 baggage claim has been replaced by a new security screening area. Roads going through Oakland Airport are currently undergoing improvements and are scheduled to be completed in 2008.

In 2008, Oakland suffered a series of service cutbacks due to high fuel costs, particularly more so compared to other Bay Area airports. In just a few days, Oakland's numerous non-stops to Hawaii were entirely eliminated following the liquidation of ATA and Aloha Airlines, although Hawaiian Airlines introduced one daily flight to Honolulu a month later. American Airlines and Continental Airlines both ended service to Oakland. Southwest Airlines eliminated six flights in November, United Airlines ended service to Los Angeles on November 2, and TACA ended service to San Salvador on September 1. All of these service reductions have resulted in the cancellation of the $500 million Terminal 3 project.
