Travelers arriving in Music City may soon be greeted through Trump International Airport.
On Friday, Republican Tennessee state Rep. Todd Warner introduced House Bill 217, which would be renamed Nashville International Airport to honor Trump.
The bill requires the metropolitan airport authority to take action to implement the name change.
These actions include establishing new signage, changing registered trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), revising all existing contracts and legal documents to reflect the new name, and updating references with local , provincial and federal agencies.

During the transition period, the bill states that the airport may do business under its current name with the designation “doing business as Trump International Airport” or “d/b/a Trump International Airport.”
If the bill is passed, it will come into effect on January 1, 2026.
This isn’t the first time a lawmaker has pushed for a new name airport after Trump.

In April 2024, a group of Republicans in the House of Representatives also pushed to rename Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia after Trump.
Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., the deputy head of the Republican Party, introduced the bill along with six cosponsors.
“In my lifetime, our nation has never been greater than under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump,” Reschenthaler previously told Fox News Digital. “As millions of domestic and international travelers fly through the airport, there is no better symbol of freedom, prosperity and strength than hearing ‘Welcome to Trump International Airport’ as they land on American soil.”
If passed, it would be the second airport in the D.C. area named after a Republican commander in chief Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Virginia.

Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., also echoed Moore, saying, “I can’t see a more fitting recognition than naming both airports in our nation’s capital after America’s two greatest presidents: DCA after President Reagan and Dulles after President Trump .”
