The city desperately wants the code changed to FYI (or Freso Yosemite International) to market to folks heading to Yosemite that they should fly into Fresno (as opposed to, say, SJC).. and to sound like a bigger deal (International.. even though there's no non-stop international service 
).
There are even FYI/Fresno Yosemite International signs all over the airport. But the code remains FAT.</font>
They are making their airport into a joke by calling it international. Fort Wayne and Lubbock have nice airports that have become jokes with "international". I have heard passengers at those airport joke at the int'l part. Heathrow doesn't have to call itself "international". They are.
