Palm Beach International Airport in Florida has been officially renamed in honor of US President Donald Trump. The new name is President Donald J. Trump International Airport. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) changed the airport's identifier from PBI to DJT, with the new designation taking effect on July 9, 2026. The full transition to the new name and designation is expected today, August 18. The decision to rename was made after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the relevant law in March 2026. According to the county's airport department, rebranding costs, including sign replacement and system updates, could reach up to $5.5 million. This is the first major airport in the US to bear the name of a sitting president. The president's son, Eric Trump, attended the ceremony and posted a message on social media platform X. The president himself welcomed the renaming, calling it a "very big day," and noted that the airport is due for modernization.
