4 US Airports Named After Former Presidents

What’s in a name? Airports across the US are often named after famous people, be they prominent figures in the city’s history or those who have been pivotal in the airport’s development. For example, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is named after two former mayors of the city of Atlanta – William B. Hartsfield and Maynard Jackson. With more than 104 million passengers in 2023, the facility was the busiest airport in the country, and the world.
