The Palm Beach International Airport in Florida has been renamed for President Donald Trump. The change officially took effect on Thursday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The airport, located near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, is a key travel hub for the region. The renaming was approved by state lawmakers earlier this year.
New signage featuring President Trump’s name is expected to be installed in the coming weeks. The FAA confirmed the update as a routine administrative action.
Supporters of the change view it as a fitting tribute to the president’s ties to the area. Critics have raised questions about the politicization of public infrastructure.
The airport serves millions of passengers annually, connecting Palm Beach County to major domestic and international destinations. The name change does not affect flight operations or airport services.
Local officials have stated that the renaming process followed standard legal procedures. No additional costs to taxpayers are anticipated from the signage updates.
The airport had previously been named after Palm Beach County. It now joins a list of facilities bearing the names of former presidents.
