Florida Governor Ron Desantis signed a bill on March 30 to rename Palm Beach International Airport the "President Donald J. Trump International Airport."
Changing the name of the airport still requires a sign-off from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as well as the completion of rights agreements.
"Changing an airport name is a local issue and the FAA does not approve airport name changes," the FAA said in a statement.
"However, the FAA must complete some administrative tasks to include updating navigational charts and databases," it said.
The airport is approximately two miles from Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
