PALM BEACH, Florida, July 9 (Reuters) – Palm Beach, Florida officially \u2060renamed \u2060its airport after President Donald Trump \u2060on Thursday, becoming the latest in a series of institutions, buildings, government \u200bprograms, warships and money to take on the Republican’s identity.<\/p>\n

\n

The renaming of Palm Beach International Airport to President \u200cDonald J. Trump International Airport was \u200ca high-profile nod to the Republican leader’s support in his adopted state of Florida, home to \u2060his ornate Mar-a-Lago \u2060resort.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

“I don’t think there’s anybody more synonymous with Palm Beach than Donald \u200bTrump in maybe all of Florida,” Trump’s son Eric Trump said in an interview with Fox News.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Since he took office for a second White House term last year, Trump’s name has been imprinted on a planned class \u200bof Navy warships, a visa program for wealthy foreigners, a government-run prescription drug website and federal \u2060savings accounts \u2060for children.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He has also \u2060pursued an ambitious \u200bremaking of Washington. While the Trump name was added to the United States Institute of Peace \u200bbuilding, courts have rejected an \u2060attempt to affix it to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation in March to rename the southeast Florida city’s airport after Trump.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Federal Aviation Administration three-letter identifier code for the airport was changed from PBI to DJT on Thursday. But passengers will need \u2060to use PBI to book flights until August 18, the airport said on its website, \u2060when it will be reflected on baggage tags, tickets and airline reservation systems.<\/p>\n

\n

The airport said the name change cost $5.5 million.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Eric Trump and his family were aboard the first flight to land at the newly named airport in the pre-dawn hours on a private plane.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

“There’s no way in hell I was letting UPS be the first plane to land,” Eric Trump said in an interview with “Fox & Friends.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

JetBlue Airways is the largest carrier in Palm Beach and along with Delta Air Lines and American Airlines operate about two-thirds of flights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Other U.S. airports \u2060have been named for politicians, including Little Rock, Arkansas’s airport after former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — but it retained the LIT airport code.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Other airports have been renamed after former lawmakers including in Las Vegas and San Jose, California.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
