RDU Expansion/2040 Master Plan

An idea from the Business Expansion thread got me thinking

Would renaming the airport to “Raleigh/Durham International Airport” (slash instead of hyphen) help with marketing and showing that it is Raleigh and Durham, not Raleigh-Durham? Looking at a few other major airports with a similar name (according to the FAA):

Two-city named airports with hyphens

  • Raleigh-Durham (RDU)
  • Minneapolis-Saint Paul (MSP)
  • Seattle-Tacoma (SEA)

Two-city named airports without hyphens

  • Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW)
  • Baltimore/Washington (BWI)
  • Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood (FLL)
