Another airport name change (this time, it’s simple)

Quietly, Chicago/Rockford International Airport has become Chicago Rockford International Airport. That’s right, no slash. Airport officials say they just thought it looked better and stopped using the slash. So, now we won’t either.
I wrote earlier this year about the trend of airports changing their names to include a large nearby city as a marketing effort. Turns out, those airports can’t agree on punctuation either.
We have:
- Orlando Sanford International Airport
- Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport
- Gary Chicago International Airport
- LA/Ontario International Airport
- LA/Palmdale Regional Airport
- Baltimore/Washington International Airport
- Manchester-Boston Regional Airport
So, it’s not just us.
