Washington \u2014 Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Monday to rebrand the Palm Beach International Airport after President Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The airport’s new name, the President Donald J. Trump International Airport, is set to take effect on July 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Changing an airport name is a local issue and the FAA does not approve airport name changes,” The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday in a statement. “However, the FAA must complete some administrative tasks to include updating navigational charts and databases.”<\/p>\n
Mr. Trump’s family business filed a trademark application<\/a> for the name in February, according to United States Patent and Trademark Office records. The application also listed numerous travel-related items and merchandise, including luggage, flight suits and plastic shoe protectors for the airport security screening process.<\/p>\n The Trump Organization said the trademark application was prompted by the Florida bill, but that it did not seek to profit off the name change.\u00a0<\/p>\n “To be clear, the President and his family will not receive any royalty, licensing fee, or financial consideration whatsoever from the proposed airport renaming,” the company said in a statement in February.\u00a0<\/p>\n Eric Trump, the president’s son, celebrated the rebrand on Monday, writing on X<\/a>\u00a0that he was “proud to have played a small role in making this happen.” \u00a0<\/p>\n The Associated Press<\/p>\n contributed to this report.\n <\/p>\n \n More from CBS News\n <\/p>\n \n Go deeper with The Free Press\n <\/p>\n
