Palm Beach International Airport is now officially President Donald J. Trump International Airport, the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) announced Thursday.
“Effective today, Palm Beach International Airport’s three-letter location identifier has changed from PBI to DJT following the airport’s official renaming to Donald J. Trump International Airport,” the FAA wrote on X.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation in March to rename Palm Beach International Airport after the current U.S. president, the latest in a series of buildings, institutions, government programs, warships and money to bear Trump’s name.
On May 5, Eric Trump, Donald Trump’s son, shared an image of the airport’s new logo for the first time.

“There is no person more deserving of this incredible honor…congrats dad,” he wrote on Truth Social.
United States Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy shared a post on X Thursday with an image bearing a sign that read, “Welcome to President Donald J. Trump International Airport,” donning the logo shared by Eric Trump.
The airport has since updated its X handle to President Donald J. Trump International Airport and said in a social media post early Thursday that it was “officially in transition mode” and working behind the scenes to “update our physical signage, terminal spaces, and digital channels to our new name.”
Its website has also been updated to showcase its new name.
For the name to be formally changed, a request had to be submitted to and approved by the FAA, which then had to process the change in various flight charting and navigation databases, including changing airport signs.
Legislation was introduced in March to change the airport’s three-letter code from PBI to DJT.
The renaming of the airport, which is minutes from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in West Palm Beach, was projected to cost upwards of US$5.5 million, according to Politico.
The decision to rename it after Trump follows Florida’s approval last year of a plan to donate a downtown Miami property for the site of his presidential library.
Trump’s name has also been affixed to a planned class of Navy warships, a visa program for wealthy foreigners, a government-run prescription drug website and federal savings accounts for children.
In December, the board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts added Trump’s name to the institution, which is now closed for a two-year renovation project.
In the same month, his name was added to the United States Institute of Peace building in Washington, months after his administration seized the nonprofit organization and all but closed it.
Donald J. Trump International Airport’s name change does not alter its ownership, governance, legal status, or operational control, according to its website.
Palm Beach County will continue to oversee all airport policies, finances and strategic decisions. This is a branding change only.

Oh goody, USA is labelling targets now.
West Palm Beach is home of the pedophiles it seems, so why not name it after one too.
Hopefully they remove it once he fucks off and dies.

I see Liberals have emotions they cannot put into perspective.
Number One, I ain’t no Liberal.
Number Two, Trump will fall and fall hard. Those that follow him and support him will run be into the ground. Go ahead and spout your swill, the end will come for folks like yourself and the rest of us will laugh and party at your demise.
Burn it down to the ground.
DJT International, way cool…
There is one sure about Trump – he will never be forgotten. And not in a good way.
I see Liberals have emotions they cannot put into perspective.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, we are beginning our descent into Demented Fat A$$ International Airport. Please fasten your seatbelts and return your sears to the upright position.”
Lmfao Jay Voorhees, you would know.
Please continue these articles, these idiots are endless laughs.
Try this…so what? He is only doing it, quite successfully, to screw with your tiny brain.
Did you forget to mention that his name has come off of the John F. Kennedy building?
And it will not be long until this is overturned.
The world will still see the airport as West Palm Beach, an obscure little airport. Apropos to rename it after the obscure little tyrant has left office.
Now that’s a shame
Imagine an entire airport named after a ped0 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
