A historic name change is expected for an airport. The board of the airport will hold a vote to approve the new name. Endorsements have been given by high-ranking officials, including the governor and the airport's CEO. The new name will honor a well-known figure.

The airport's code will remain the same, as it is currently used to honor a person from the airport's past. A unanimous decision is expected from the board members.

Further details about the renaming process are available, including the next steps to be taken with the relevant authorities.
