SAN FRANCISCO-<\/strong> On Tuesday (Jan 17, 2024), the governing body of San Francisco International Airport (SFO)<\/a> declared its decision to rename the international terminal in honor of the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a pioneering figure in California politics who passed away last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative by the San Francisco Airport Commission was prompted by the efforts of a notable local group known as the Dianne Feinstein 100-Plus Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Francisco Terminal New Name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Led by former San Francisco mayor and longtime state Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, the committee submitted a renaming application to the commission in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim Gonzalez, a spokesperson for the group, expressed that naming the San Francisco International Terminal after Sen. Feinstein serves as a fitting tribute to a woman who paved the way for numerous female leaders across the city, state, and nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from the physical change in the terminal’s signage, Gonzalez highlighted that international travelers will have the opportunity to contemplate the legacy of someone “who is an incredible defender of democracy, someone who always stood against authoritarianism and was, in her own right, a civil rights leader for all communities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the alteration in nomenclature, the airport commission has announced its intention to work closely with the Feinstein 100-Plus Committee on additional initiatives aimed at commemorating Feinstein’s enduring legacy, specifically in connection to both the airport and the city of San Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
