What happened
Florida lawmakers have passed legislation to rename Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) to Donald J. Trump International Airport. The bill, introduced by Rep. Meg Weinberger, passed the state House and Senate with partisan support and was signed by Governor Ron DeSantis in late March 2026. The new name is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2026, with approximately $5.5 million allocated for signage and branding updates. While the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) must formally approve the name change, it is expected to proceed smoothly. This follows Trump's recent trademark applications for airport naming variations
