Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation on Monday to rename Palm Beach International Airport after Donald Trump, now designated as "President Donald J. Trump International Airport." The name change is anticipated to take effect on July 1, pending procedural steps including FAA updates, although it does not need FAA approval for the renaming itself, according to CBS News and Reuters.
Eric Trump expressed his pride in the rebranding on social media, acknowledging the support received from state officials including Attorney General James Uthmeier. The Trump Organization has filed a trademark application for the airport's new name, which covers various travel-related goods, yet emphasized that neither Trump nor his family would receive any financial gain from this renaming, as stated by India Times and Reuters.
The renaming aligns with previous actions to memorialize Trump's legacy, including a plan to donate a property for his presidential library in Miami. Additionally, Representative Brian Mast has proposed changing the airport's three-letter code from PBI to DJT, recognizing Trump's initials, according to CBS News and India Times.
