A Florida airport is officially renamed for Trump. What does he stand to gain? [View all]

(NPR) It's official: President Donald J. Trump International Airport is open for business.

The South Florida facility was called Palm Beach International Airport for over half a century until Thursday, when a months-old state law took effect, adding the airport to the growing list of places and things that now bear President Trump's name.

Trump flies in and out of this airport relatively often, as it's mere miles from his oceanfront estate, Mar-a-Lago. The lifelong New Yorker declared Palm Beach his permanent residence in 2019, and travels there regularly from the White House. More than 8 million passengers fly through its airport each year, on over a dozen airlines.
