Oakland International Airport is using common use to become more flexible and efficient in daily operations. Much of the current traffic (Southwest Airlines excepted) operates in an old terminal building (circa 1960) and there is a need to maximize the use of existing space. They are now expanding their program to include new systems such as ground service equipment (GSE). They also have an emphasis on using dynamic signage to its full potential in guiding the passenger through the facility.

The airport is working to have ground handling move into a common use environment while also deploying charging stations at each gate. Another note from the airport was that they are helping facilitate a CBP test with retinal biometrics.
