The Senate Transportation Committee unanimously backed a bill (SB 706) that would give authority to the state to name the seven major commercial service airports in Florida, with the only change proposed being Palm Beach International Airport becoming Donald J. Trump International Airport. A staff analysis of the bill said Palm Beach County officials raised concerns about potential costs because the change would require rebranding, including such things as replacing signs. Nick Iarossi, a lobbyist for Palm Beach County, pointed to Trump’s presence with golf courses and resorts in Florida, where he’s been a resident since 2019. Initially known as Morrison Field when the first commercial operations were conducted in 1936, the airport has been Palm Beach International Airport since 1948. Mayfield’s bill wouldn’t change the names of the other major airports in Florida: Orlando International Airport, Miami International Airport, Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport, Tampa International Airport, Southwest Florida International Airport in Lee County and Jacksonville International Airport.
