hold on there's just too much going on in Congress lmao...
Renames Palm Beach International Airport after Donald Trump.
Reps. Brian Mast, Daniel Webster, and Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL).
Introduced in House; referred to Transportation Committee.
This bill would rename Palm Beach International Airport to Donald J. Trump International Airport. It also requires the FAA to update the airport's identifier code from PBI to DJT. The lead sponsor is Rep. Brian Mast, who sits on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. The bill is at the start of the legislative process—no hearings or votes yet.
Introduced Mar 24, 2026
This bill has been introduced in its chamber of Congress. It has been assigned a bill number and referred to a committee for review. Most bills never advance past this stage. The committee may hold hearings, gather expert testimony, and amend the bill before deciding whether to send it to the full chamber for a vote.
The name change applies to all official federal references, including highway signs and government documents. Airline tickets and luggage tags would eventually show DJT. However, the airport would still function exactly the same—same runways, terminals, and airlines. The cost of new signage and administrative updates is not addressed in the bill.
Supporters Say
Supporters say honoring a former president who owns property nearby is a fitting tribute that recognizes his contributions.
Critics Say
Critics argue it politicizes a public facility and that airports should be named for local figures, not former presidents with a partisan legacy.
Proponents note Trump's Mar-a-Lago club is in Palm Beach, and he often used the airport. Opponents contend the renaming could be divisive and costly, and they question prioritizing this while other infrastructure needs exist. No official endorsements or opposition statements are recorded in the bill.
