I'm pretty sure they'd use it as a city/name combo, so it would be called "Winnipeg/Richardson International Airport", like Chicago/O'Hare or Atlanta/Hartsfield, Cleveland/Hopkins, Minneapolis-St.Paul/Chamberlain, etc. Even Fargo's airport is called "Fargo/Hector International". That seems to be the standard format for using airport names named after someone.
