Washington, DC [US], March 31 (ANI): US President Donald Trump’s son and businessman, Eric Trump, announced on Monday (local time) that Palm Beach International Airport will be renamed “President Donald J. Trump International Airport.”
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill to rebrand Palm Beach International Airport after US President Donald Trump, as reported by CBS News. In a post on X, Eric Trump said, “Palm Beach International Airport is now officially ‘President Donald J. Trump International Airport!’ Proud to have played a small role in making this happen. Huge thanks to State Representative Florida House District 94 Meg Weinberger, Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, and the overwhelming majority in the Florida House!”
The airport’s new name, President Donald J. Trump International Airport, is set to take effect on July 1, according to CBS News.
However, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that it does not approve name changes and that the issue is a local matter. “Changing an airport name is a local issue, and the FAA does not approve airport name changes. However, the FAA must complete some administrative tasks, including updating navigational charts and databases,” the FAA said in a statement quoted by CBS News.
Trump’s family business filed a trademark application for the airport’s name in February, according to United States Patent and Trademark Office records. The application also listed numerous travel-related items and merchandise, including luggage, flight suits, and plastic shoe protectors for the airport security screening process, CBS News reported.
The Trump Organization said the trademark application was prompted by the Florida bill. However, the organization said that the family does not seek profit from it, according to CBS News.
“To be clear, the President and his family will not receive any royalty, licensing fee, or financial consideration whatsoever from the proposed airport renaming,” the company said in a statement in February, as quoted by CBS News. (ANI)
