Nashville Airport Board Unanimously Approves Renaming Process for Dolly Parton

The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority unanimously voted on September 11, 2026, to begin the process of renaming Nashville International Airport to honor the late country music icon Dolly Parton. The decision marks a rare moment of bipartisan cooperation between the Republican-controlled state government and the Democratic-controlled city government, which have been locked in a legal dispute over airport control since 2023. While the final name and implementation details remain pending, the move is expected to cost between $8 million and $10 million and could take up to a year to complete. Parton, who died on August 25, 2026, at age 80, would become the first woman to have one of America’s 50 busiest airports named after her.

President Donald J. Trump International Airport Debuts in Palm Beach

West Palm Beach’s Palm Beach International Airport has been renamed the President Donald J. Trump International Airport; the FAA confirmed the change, with the location identifier switching from PBI to DJT (the IATA change slated for Aug. 18). Carriers are already displaying DJT in bookings while PBI remains searchable. The branding overhaul, costing about $5.5 million, is funded by Florida, with $2.75 million from the state and the rest from local budgets; Gov. DeSantis signed the bill authorizing the name change, and Eric Trump said DJT would be the first plane to land at the renamed airport.

Trump Organization trademark filings raise questions about Palm Beach airport renaming profits

Florida lawmakers are pushing to rename Palm Beach International Airport after Donald Trump, but a recent Trump Organization trademark filing for names like “DONALD J. TRUMP INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT” has sparked concerns about whether the family could benefit from the branding. The sponsor says royalties or licensing fees would not be paid and branding would come at no cost, while trademark experts note it’s unusual for a president’s name to be trademarked and could broaden merch and other licensing opportunities tied to the airport as the bills move toward Gov. DeSantis.
