## Resource

Oakland Airport’s rebranding gamble is backfiring—passenger numbers are plummeting, down 17% in May and nearly 15% on average monthly, despite flashy new promises. Airlines like Southwest and Alaska blame soaring fuel costs for steep ticket hikes, squeezing profits even as demand supposedly stays strong. Travelers are feeling the pinch, and the airport’s shiny upgrades—new restrooms, dining, and a local business opening soon—might just be the lifeline it needs to turn things around.
