Floridas Palm Beach International Airport has been officially renamed Donald J. Trump International Airport, effective July 9, 2026, per a state lawmaking Trump the first sitting president to have an airport named for him, a departure from the traditional posthumous or post-office practice. The change is purely cosmetic, with operations and ownership unchanged, though branding updates are phased and the IATA code will shift from PBI to DJT on August 18. The move is controversial, drawing criticism from Democrats and prompting two lawsuits, amid concerns over political overreach and Trumps prior trademark filings for the airport name.
