    July passenger traffic at Oakland International Airport (OAK) increased 34 percent from what was reported for June. In fact, over 86,000 more passengers departed from OAK than did in June.

    “While far from normal, in July we had a month-over-month uptick in traffic as airlines restored air service as well as the traffic benefits of the Independence Day holiday and a 31-day month,” says Bryant L. Francis, Port of Oakland director of aviation. “As passengers return to OAK, the team here is doing what is necessary to ensure we meet the rigor of what is now required to operate during the pandemic and, at the same time, offer the reliable and welcoming airport experience for which we are known.”
