A Florida airport is now named after Trump, with old airport code still used for now

by

Key takeaways

Airport Name Change: Palm Beach International Airport is now President Donald J. Trump International Airport, effective July 9, though the old code PBI remains in use until August 18.

Code Transition: For 40 days, passengers will see PBI, while pilots and aviation systems use DJT. Airlines have updated systems to ensure smooth operations.

Official & Legal Notes: Florida law authorized the renaming, airlines requested the IATA code change, and Trump receives no royalties, though his name and likeness can be used for airport promotion.

In May, the Palm Beach County commissioners approved a licensing deal to add “Donald J. Trump” to its airport name after the Trump Organization filed for a trademark for the use of the president’s name at any airport.
