Florida airport will be named after Trump, who will be the first president to change his name during his tenure

Palm Beach International Airport in Florida will be renamed after President Donald Trump. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a bill renaming Palm Beach International Airport after President Donald J. Trump. Trump International Airport is being developed. After the Florida government's decision, a formal proposal will now be sent to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to implement the name. Thereafter, changes will be made to the flight chart, navigation system and airport signage. The name could go into effect on July 1 after receiving FAA approval. If this happens, Trump will be the first president to have an airport named after him during his tenure. Palm Beach International will be the ninth commercial airport in the United States to be named after a president. The airport is very close to Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, which is his main residence. Changing the name of an airport in the United States is not just an administrative decision, but it involves a process at all three levels – local, state and federal. Most airports in the United States are under the control of a local government or airport authority. First, the City Council passes a resolution to change the name of the Airport Board. If the airport is under the jurisdiction of the state, approval from the governor or state legislature is required. However, in some cases, only local approval is sufficient, but the role of the state is important for a large airport. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the main agency that oversees airport operations in the United States. An official update is sent to the FAA after the name change. The name is updated in all air traffic systems, maps and databases. However, the airport code (IATA/ICAO) is usually not changed. It is very difficult to change it because it affects the international aviation system. The Florida airport code is also being changed. US Congressman Brian Must has also proposed to change the airport's three-letter code from PBI to DJT, which is the initials of Trump's name. In addition to the airport, many government and public institutions are being named after Trump. For example, there will be a note signed by Trump, in addition to this, it has been said that Trump's signature will also come on American currency from this year. This will be the first time in U.S. history that the signature of a sitting president will be printed on notes. The Treasury Department announced that the move is being taken to mark the 250th year of the country's independence. The printing of new notes will also break the 165-year-old tradition that has been going on since 1861. Until now, the notes had only the signatures of the Finance Minister and the Treasurer of the United States. The signature of the treasurer will be removed from it. According to the Treasury Department, the first $100 notes, signed by Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, will be printed in June and the rest will be printed in the coming months. Trump plans to build a presidential library in Miami, Florida. DeSantis tried to provide land for this last year. Trump also shared a video of him, which showed a huge glass building, a golden statue, a private jet and luxury facilities. A website has also been launched for the project, where the option of donation with 'Coming Sun' has been given. Trump is originally from New York, but moved to Florida in 2019. He used to live in Trump Tower, but now his main residence is Mar-a-Lago in West Palm Beach. Florida House Democratic Leader Fentrice Driskell criticized the decision to rename the airport, saying it would cost taxpayers $5 million. "Life is becoming increasingly expensive for working families and the elderly in Florida," he said. That's why Democrats worked on an agenda to cut spending and save more money in people's pockets this legislative session. But instead of pushing this bill forward with us, Republican leaders preferred to spend $5 million of your taxes to rename an airport after the president.
