Eric Trump Shares Gold Logo for Proposed ‘Donald J. Trump International Airport’ in Palm Beach
The agreement clears the way for a new all-gold airport logo after weeks of negotiations between county officials and Trump companies.
On Tuesday, Palm Beach County commissioners approved a 4-3 agreement permitting the county to use President Donald Trump's name and branding for Palm Beach International Airport, formalizing the licensing deal required by state law.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation in March requiring the hub be renamed in honor of Trump, who has been a fixture in Palm Beach County for over 40 years, making more than 60 visits during his two non-consecutive White House terms.
The Trump Organization provided a royalty-free license for the airport name and approved branding, including a new logo featuring an eagle holding two olive branches. Merchandise sold must be sourced through retailers designated by the company.
DTTM Operations LLC filed a trademark for "Donald J. Trump International Airport," potentially allowing the company to sell branded items off-site. Trademark attorney Josh Gerben called the move "completely unprecedented" for a sitting president's private company.
The airport is expected to officially receive its new name on July 1, 2026. Trump said he has plans to add "tremendous elements" to the hub, describing it as potentially better than any other airport in the country.
