'This is not just about renaming the airport — it’s about setting the stage for future growth and flexibility in a rapidly evolving aviation market.'
A St. Johns County Republican is fulfilling a wish list item to change an airport’s name to promote local branding.
Rep. Kim Kendall’s HB 4009 would change the current Northeast Florida Regional Airport branding to St. Augustine Airport.
The move, which would take effect if signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis, is presented as a return to historic roots by the St. Johns County Airport Authority, which pushed for the change during a meeting of the county’s Legislative Delegation back in January.
