Overview
- State Rep. Meg Weinberger filed the measure over the weekend to change PBI’s name to Donald J. Trump International Airport.
- The bill is in the drafting stage and must be vetted by a state legislative committee before any potential floor vote.
- Further local or administrative signoffs would be required, so no immediate name change is expected.
- The airport lies roughly four miles from Mar-a-Lago, and Air Force One frequently uses PBI due to that proximity.
- Earlier this year, Florida approved honorary Trump signage for part of Southern Boulevard toward Mar-a-Lago, and Republicans have floated similar airport renamings in places such as Washington Dulles and Nashville.
