Florida is set to honor Donald Trump with an airport renaming.

The state legislature has approved a bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport as the “President Donald J. Trump International Airport.” Governor Ron DeSantis is expected to sign the measure, which still requires Federal Aviation Administration approval to take effect.

Legislature Votes for Trump Airport Renaming

The Republican-controlled legislature in Florida voted in favor of the renaming on Thursday. This decision aligns with Trump’s significant presence in the state, particularly with his Mar-a-Lago residence located just minutes away from the airport.

If finalized, this renaming will add to a list of institutions that bear Trump’s name, reflecting his ongoing influence in American politics and culture.

Federal Approval Needed for Name Change

Despite the state legislature’s approval, the name change is not yet official. It requires the Federal Aviation Administration’s endorsement before implementation.

This step is crucial for the renaming process, as federal regulations govern airport naming conventions.

Future Steps for the Airport Renaming

  • Governor Ron DeSantis to sign the bill into law.
  • Federal Aviation Administration to review and approve the name change.

Florida is moving forward with plans to rename an airport in honor of Donald Trump.
