FAA Confirms Aviation Chart Revisions: Gulf Of Mexico Now ‘Gulf Of America’, Mount McKinley Replaces Denali

The FAA has renamed the Gulf of Mexico the ‘Gulf of America.’ The agency’s data and charts will show this name change, along with a change fom Denali to Mount McKinley, implementing an Executive Order of the President.

On Sunday, the President recognized a first-ever “Gulf of America Day” on the White House website while Air Force One was flying over it enroute to the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has, in turn, suggested renaming North America as “Mexican America.”
