On 16 January 2014, El Salvador President Mauricio Funes announced in San Salvador's Presidential House the name of El Salvador International Airport after Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero, but it is still commonly known as El Salvador International Airport (). The Legislature of El Salvador approved the name change on 19 March 2014, without the vote of ARENA or PDC, to Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport. El Salvador's former President Mauricio Funes on 24 March 2014 unveiled a ceremonial plaque to mark the official renaming.
