The recent renaming of Palm Beach International Airport to President Donald J. Trump International Airport has been met with enthusiasm from supporters who view it as a well-deserved tribute to the president's contributions. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the legislation approving the name change in March 2026, and the rebranding process is estimated to cost up to $5.5 million, covering new signage and branding throughout the terminal. The Trump Organization's Boeing 757, known as "Trump Force One," was the first to land at the newly renamed airport, carrying Eric Trump among other passengers. Supporters argue that the renaming honors the president's impact on the nation and his longstanding ties to the Palm Beach area, where his Mar-a-Lago estate is located. They believe the move reflects gratitude for his public service and leadership.
