FAA Updates South Bend Airspace Name and Coordinates

## Summary

The FAA is updating the Class C airspace info for South Bend International Airport by fixing the airport name and coordinates. No changes to airspace size or rules are happening, so pilots and travelers won’t see any difference in how the airspace works. These updates take effect on May 14, 2026, and won’t cost anyone extra.

## Abstract

This action amends the Class C airspace description for the former "South Bend, Michiana Regional Airport, IN", to update the airport name to the "South Bend International Airport" and the airport's geographic coordinates to match the FAA's National Airspace System Resources (NASR) database. Additionally, this action further amends the airspace description by updating the header format. This action does not change the boundaries, altitudes, or operating requirements of the Class C airspace area.
