Atlanta’s Hartfield-Jackson International Airport does not expect any disruptions to operations Thursday, even if former President Donald Trump does arrive to surrender. “We are aware the former president may travel through ATL tomorrow. We expect no impact to operations,” airport spokesman Andrew Gobeil said.
