Palm Beach International Airport was renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport, with the change becoming official on Thursday, July 9, 2026. The airport’s three‑letter identifier was also changed from PBI to DJT.
The renaming resulted from legislation passed by Florida lawmakers, and Republican State Representative Meg Weinberger introduced the proposal to rename the airport in November 2025.
According to gdelt, old airport signs were removed and new signage was installed, while the Times of Israel reported that the name change and associated redesign are expected to cost as much as $5.5 million.
Also reported by gdelt, a Boeing 757 owned by The Trump Organization, called “Trump Force One,” was the first plane to arrive at the airport under its new name shortly after 5 a.m., with Eric Trump listed as a passenger.
