Resolution criteria

The Florida House approved a bill on February 18, 2026 to rename Palm Beach International Airport in honor of President Donald Trump, with the proposal now under review by the Florida Senate. The market resolves YES if the airport is officially renamed to "Donald J. Trump International Airport" or "President Donald J. Trump International Airport" and the name change is implemented. The name change is subject to approval by the Federal Aviation Administration and the execution of an agreement between Palm Beach County and the trademark holder. The market resolves NO if the bill fails to pass the Florida Senate, is vetoed by the Governor, or is not implemented by December 31, 2027.

Background

The Florida House of Representatives approved the bill on Wednesday, February 18, 2026. The legislative proposal aims to rename the facility as Donald J. Trump International Airport. Supporters of the measure argued that the renaming is appropriate because of the airport's proximity to the president's home at Mar-a-Lago. The Palm Beach County Department of Airports estimates the name change will cost roughly $5.5 million, covering new signage, uniforms, equipment, promotional materials, and technology upgrades.

Considerations

The name change requires FAA approval along with an agreement with the trademark holder. The Trump Organization filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for "intent to use" the names "President Donald J. Trump International Airport," "Donald J. Trump International Airport," and "DJT." The Trump family stated they were "deeply honored" by the move to rename the airport and will waive rights to the trademark.
