The airport has published FAQs and acknowledges mixed reactions from travelers, expressing gratitude for passenger support during the transition.

The airport code will change from PBI to DJT for airline reservations and navigation on August 18, 2026; travelers should still use the old code for bookings until that date.

Signage and branding will be updated in phases, including terminal interiors and baggage tags, with new branding appearing on major routes such as I-95 exits.

Officials emphasize the change is strictly branding; flight schedules, operations, parking, TSA screening, baggage claim, and terminal services will not be affected.

The rebranding takes effect on July 9, 2026, and follows Florida law and FAA approval, with the airport’s ownership and operations remaining with Palm Beach County.

Two lawsuits challenge the renaming—one alleging lack of county consent and FAA coordination, and another related to a Trademark License Agreement with the Trump organization.

Funding for transition costs will come from airport revenues or other airport sources, with no property taxes used; a potential state funding appropriation may support the transition.

The Palm Beach International Airport is being renamed to President Donald J. Trump International Airport, with a new navy blue Welcome sign installed at the entrance and full signage changes underway as part of the transition.

Digital updates lead the branding rollout, with permanent signs to follow, while ongoing coverage notes related political and branding developments.

A separate pilot lawsuit asserts concerns about safety, licensing, and overreach, while another seeks an injunction to halt the renaming until the first case is resolved.

State officials argue the process follows the law and county guidance, and a third party has filed a dispute without halting progress.

The rebranding is funded in part by a $2.75 million allocation in Florida’s budget.
