In 1927 the announcement of the Dole prize for a flight from California to Hawaii provided the incentive to purchase 680 acres (275&nbsp;ha) in April 1927 for the airport.<ref>{{cite book |title=Oakland Aviation|first1=Ronald T.|last1=Reuther|first2=William T.|last2=Larkins|page=17}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Oakland Airport|url=http://www.aiaa.org/Participate/Uploads/02-0694%20HAS%20Oakland%20brochur.pdf|accessdate=November 3, 2011|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061201222858/http://www.aiaa.org/Participate/Uploads/02-0694%20HAS%20Oakland%20brochur.pdf|archivedate=December 1, 2006|df=mdy-all}}</ref> The 7,020-foot-long (2&nbsp;140&nbsp;m) runway was the longest in the world at the time, and was built in just 21 days to meet the [[Dole Air Race|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.<ref name="OAKhistory">{{cite web|title=A History of Aviation Excellence and Importance to the Community|url=http://www.oaklandairport.com/media_backgrounder.shtml|publisher=Port of Oakland|accessdate=July 16, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120622034917/http://www.oaklandairport.com/media_backgrounder.shtml|archive-date=June 22, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite book|title=Aerospace Engineering Education During The First Century of Flight|author1=Barnes Warnock McCormick |author2=Conrad F.

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 Air Lines]] and [[Pacific Southwest Airlines|Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA)]]. The airport's first [[Jet Age]] [[airport terminal|terminal]] (now Terminal 1) was designed by [[John Carl Warnecke|John Carl Warnecke & Associates]] and opened in 1962, part of a $20 million expansion on bay fill that included the 10,000-foot (3048&nbsp;m) runway 11/29 (now 12/30).<ref>{{cite web |title=Oakland International Airport, Terminal 1|url=http://www.docomomo-noca.org/building-detail.php?id=53|work=Northern California Chapter, Documentation and Conservation of Buildings|accessdate=July 16, 2012}}{{dead link|date=September 2019|fix-attempted=yes}}</ref> 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.<ref name="OAKhistory" /> 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. World Airways had broken ground on the World Airways Maintenance Center at Oakland International Airport. The maintenance hangar could store four [[Boeing 747]]s. It opened in May 1973.<ref name="OAKhistory" /> After the war Oakland's traffic slumped, but [[Airline Deregulation Act|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 Wilson (politician)|Lionel J. Wilson]] Terminal 2, with seven gates for [[Pacific Southwest Airlines|PSA]] and [[Air California|AirCal]] service.<ref name="OAKhistory" /> 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 [[air cargo|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 [[Paris–Orly Airport|Orly Airport]] to OAK to [[Papeete]], [[Tahiti]], [[Martinair]] flew to [[Amsterdam Schiphol Airport|Schiphol Airport]] and [[CityBird]] flew to [[Brussels Airport]] in Brussels.<ref name="OAKhistory" /> ===2000s=== [[United Airlines]] vacated its {{convert|300000|sqft|-4|abbr=on}} 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.<ref name="OAKhistory" /> 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 [[Grupo TACA|TACA]] ended service to [[San Salvador]] on September 1. ;New air traffic control tower [[File:OAK Control Tower 07832.JPG|thumb|Former South Air Traffic Control Tower above Oakland International Airport's Terminal 1]] A groundbreaking ceremony for a new [[Air Traffic Control Tower|control tower]] took place October 15, 2010. A grant awarded to the [[Federal Aviation Administration]] from the [[American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009|American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)]] helped fund the project. The new, environmentally "green" tower was opened in June of 2013 and replaced the previous north and south field towers.

Oakland International is the first Northern California airport with 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 Airport 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 (3048&nbsp;m) 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.<ref name="OAKhistory" /> 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).<ref name="OAKhistory" /> Even with the completion of these projects, more improvements are needed. The airport's 20-year Master Plan was completed in 2006, with input from the OAK Aviation Stakeholder Advisory Committee.<ref name="OAKhistory" /> ;Environmental Management Oakland International Airport, a revenue division of the [[Port of Oakland]], takes a leadership role in promoting a sustainable operating environment—whether 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 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. ===Expansion=== In May 2015 Oakland International Airport's Moving Modern program construction commenced a $100 million renovation of the Terminal 1 complex. The project included seismic architectural retrofits in central buildings, replacement and upgrading of infrastructure and improvement of the passenger environment. The project was completed in Spring 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.oaklandairport.com/press_releases_detail.aspx?ID=703&t=p|title=Oakland International Airport: Press Releases|publisher=Oakland Airport}}</ref> ===Recent developments=== [[File:Oaklandairportinside.jpg|thumb|Inside Terminal 1 at Oakland International Airport]] [[File:Oakland Airport Terminal 1.jpg|thumb|Terminal 1 and ground transportation dropoff loop]] Following the years of the [[Great Recession]], during which a few airlines were either liquidated ([[ATA Airlines]] and [[Aloha Airlines]]), or consolidated business to [[San Francisco International Airport]], OAK started a gradual recovery, which has continued through 2017. In 2009 [[Allegiant Air]] moved operations from [[San Francisco International Airport]], before designating OAK as a focus city. After the bankruptcies of ATA and Aloha Airlines, [[Alaska Airlines]] and [[Hawaiian Airlines]] replaced their nonstop services to Hawaii. In the same year, [[Volaris]] began service to OAK as their first destination in the San Francisco Bay Area and held a commercial agreement with [[Southwest Airlines]], until its merger with [[AirTran Airways]] in 2011. Malaysia-based [[AirAsia X]] honored its new partners, the [[Oakland Raiders]] of the [[National Football League|National Football League (NFL)]]. [[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 had new optimism that service between the U.S. and the airline's main base in [[Kuala Lumpur]], could possibly happen earlier than originally expected, but has yet to come to fruition as of 2017. In 2009 OAK had the highest on-time arrival percentage among the 40 busiest North American airports.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Oakland International Airport: Press Releases|url=http://www.flyoakland.com/press_releases_detail.aspx?ID=578&t=p|publisher=Port of Oakland|date=January 12, 2010|accessdate=April 19, 2012|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110120082516/http://flyoakland.com///press_releases_detail.aspx?ID=578&t=p|archivedate=January 20, 2011|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Oakland Best Among Top 40 North American Airports|url=http://emailer.emailroi.com/r.pl?vWHzpuUnhHLFybhb_0146f07791285864|work=Flightstats.com|date=January 6, 2010|accessdate=April 19, 2012}}</ref> In 2011 [[Spirit Airlines]] returned to OAK after several years of absence, eventually flying a combined total of seven year-round and seasonal routes by the summer of 2017. Oakland International Airport also celebrated its 85th Anniversary in 2011, commemorating the first transpacific crossing by air from OAK to Hawaii, which took place on June 29, 1927 in ''The Bird of Paradise'', flown by Hegenberger and Maitland. In 2012 [[United Airlines]] pulled out of OAK, consolidating operations at [[San Francisco International Airport]], its Bay Area hub. [[TUI Airlines Netherlands|Arkefly]] (which later re-branded as TUI Airlines Netherlands) chose OAK as a San Francisco Bay Area gateway, flying twice-weekly to [[Amsterdam Airport Schiphol|Amsterdam]], via a stop at [[Los Angeles International Airport]]. Arkefly provided 18 weeks of scheduled service in the summer of 2012. The airline followed with a similar schedule during the summer of in 2013, before discontinuing service at OAK. In 2013 [[FedEx Express]] opened a $30 million upgrade of its hub facility at OAK, including additions to accommodate the airline's new [[Boeing 777 Freighter]] fleet. In 2014, [[Norwegian Air Shuttle]] announced its first two year-round flights to [[Stockholm Arlanda Airport|Stockholm]] and [[Oslo Airport, Gardermoen|Oslo]] airport, using [[Boeing 787 Dreamliner#787-8|Boeing 787-8]] aircraft seating 291 passengers operated by [[Norwegian Long Haul]]. The flights were the first-ever nonstop services offered from the two Scandinavian capitals to the San Francisco Bay Area, providing several connections throughout Europe. The Oslo flight was later changed to a seasonal schedule. In 2016 [[Norwegian Air Shuttle]] announced nonstop flights connecting Oakland with London beginning the following spring. [[British Airways]] responded with their own service to London, with both airlines providing service to London's [[Gatwick Airport]]. [[American Airlines]] also returned and re-branded, following a merger with [[US Airways]]; the latter previously having a short-term presence at OAK, following a separate merger with [[America West Airlines]] during the previous decade. [[Southwest Airlines]] inaugurated nonstop flights from Oakland to Mexico for the airline's first international nonstop flights from OAK. The additional routes also gave the airline a combined total of 30 year-round and seasonal flights at the airport as of early 2017. In 2017 [[Norwegian Air Shuttle]] announced nonstop flights connecting Oakland with [[Copenhagen Airport|Copenhagen]] on a seasonal basis from March 28, and Oakland with Barcelona from June 7 to operate year-round. [[Level (airline)|Level]], a new carrier owned by [[International Airlines Group|IAG]], responded with their own Barcelona service, started flights initially operated by IAG partner [[Iberia (airline)|Iberia]] on June 2, with both airlines providing service to [[Barcelona–El Prat Airport|Barcelona El Prat Airport]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/business-39301239|title=BA owner IAG launches new long-haul airline Level|website=BBC News}}</ref> In the months following, Norwegian announced in May the introduction of nonstop flights between Oakland and [[Leonardo da Vinci International Airport|Rome Fiumicino]] started on February 6, 2018,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/todayinthesky/2017/05/31/norwegian-air-fly-italy-three-us-cities/102338008/|title=Norwegian Air to fly to Italy from three U.S. cities; $189 one-way fares|publisher=|accessdate=August 12, 2018}}</ref> and in July the introduction of nonstop flights between Oakland and [[Charles de Gaulle Airport|Paris Charles de Gaulle]] began on April 10, 2018.<ref>{{cite web|author=Liu Jim|url=http://www.routesonline.com/news/38/airlineroute/273671/norwegian-expands-paris-us-flights-in-2018/|title=Norwegian expands Paris – US flights in 2018|publisher=UBM (UK) Ltd.|website=Routesonline|date=July 5, 2017|accessdate=July 7, 2017}}</ref> As of October 2018, British Airways has ended service at Oakland. <ref>{{cite web|author=OneMileataTime|url=https://onemileatatime.com/british-airways-cancels-oakland-flight/|title=British Airways Is Canceling Flights To Oakland}}</ref> Between mid-2018 through early 2020, OAK has both lost--and will further be losing--several domestic and international nonstop routes; the indefinite grounding of the [[Boeing 737 MAX]] by both Southwest and American Airlines, the "restructuring" of schedules by airlines, and a lack of demand all contribute to this. Besides the aforementioned ending of British Airways, Level moved its operations to San Francisco International Airport, as the same for Norwegian Air Shuttle for all its 7 routes serving OAK. Southwest Airlines ended systemwide service with Newark Liberty International Airport in November 2019, followed by discontinuing 3 more routes with OAK effective January 2020. 3 other routes are currently suspended by Southwest until further notice, while American did the same during summer 2019 for service with [[Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport]].
