DeSantis signs bill to rename Palm Beach airport after Trump
Governor DeSantis signed legislation for the renaming, with a $5.5 million estimated cost and pending Federal Aviation Administration approval for the change effective July 1.
- On Monday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation renaming Palm Beach International Airport to "Donald J. Trump International Airport," effective July 1 pending Federal Aviation Administration approval and a licensing agreement.
- Republican lawmakers passed the measure with an 81-30 House vote and 25-11 Senate tally, citing President Donald Trump's longstanding residency in Palm Beach County. State Representative Meg Weinberger championed the tribute to his legacy.
- Florida House Democratic Leader Fentrice Driskell criticized the move as a "misdirection of priorities," citing an estimated $5.5 million in taxpayer rebranding costs. The Senate budget allocates $2.75 million for the transition.
- DTTM Operations LLC, managed by The Trump Organization, filed trademark applications for the new name and identifier "DJT." A company representative stated the family will not receive royalties or licensing fees from the rebranding.
- The FAA must update navigational charts and databases before the name change takes effect, completing administrative processing required for implementation. This rebrand follows a national trend of naming institutions, currency, and infrastructure after the President.
