Travelers arriving in Music City may soon be greeted by Trump International Airport.
On Friday, Tennessee Republican State Rep. Todd Warner filed House Bill 217, which would rename Nashville International Airport to honor Trump.
The bill would require the metropolitan airport authority to take actions to execute the name change.
Those actions would include setting up 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, state and federal agencies.

During the transition period, the bill states that the airport may operate business using its current name with the designation of “doing business as Trump International Airport” or “d/b/a Trump International Airport.”
If passed, the bill would take effect on Jan. 1, 2026.
This is not the first time a lawmaker has pushed to rename an airport after Trump.

Back in April 2024, a group of House Republicans also pushed to rename Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia after Trump.
Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., the House GOP’s chief deputy whip, 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 D.C.-area airport named for a Republican commander in chief after Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Virginia.

Rep. Barry Moore, R-Ala., previously told Fox News Digital that “it is only fitting that we would do the same for another one of our greatest presidents.”
Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., also echoed Moore and said “I can see no more fitting recognition than naming both airports in our nation’s capital after America’s two best presidents: DCA after President Reagan and Dulles after President Trump.”
