Palm Beach County International Airport

Florida lawmakers approved a bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport after President Donald Trump. The Florida Senate passed the bill Thursday and it now awaits Gov. Ron DeSantis' signature. On Friday, his office said he has not received the bill yet. The plan also needs approval from the Federal Aviation Administration.

Florida lawmakers on Tuesday moved closer to placing President Donald Trump’s name on the Palm Beach International Airport despite turbulence over state funding, trademarking rights and his personal conduct.

Renaming Palm Beach County's main airport after President Donald Trump would cost an estimated $5.5 million.

For the first 10 months of 2025, PBI reported 58 noise complaints. From October 20, 2025 — when the “temporary flight restriction” went into effect — to the first week of January 2026, the airport received 622 noise complaints.

Tourism is growing statewide, but air travel has slowed at South Florida's two major airports after record years. One reason is that fewer Canadians are coming. But cruise passengers continue crowding PortMiami and Port Everglades, while hotel tourism tax collection remains strong.
