Florida lawmakers have approved a bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport in honor of former U.S. President Donald Trump, setting the stage for the facility to become the “President Donald J. Trump International Airport.”
The measure, passed on Thursday, now awaits the expected signature of Governor Ron DeSantis to become law. The airport, located in the coastal town of Palm Beach near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, would also require Federal Aviation Administration approval before the name change can officially take effect.
If finalized, the airport would join a growing list of institutions bearing Trump’s name. In December, the board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts voted to rename the venue the “Trump-Kennedy Center,” and the State Department added Trump’s name to the United States Institute of Peace.
Trump has also reportedly sought to rename New York’s Penn Station and Washington Dulles International Airport after himself, though both proposals were not approved.
