PBIA to Become Donald J. Trump International Airport with DJT Identifier on July 9
County officials say the move gives the Trump Organization control of branding and merchandising, while analysts estimate the deal could net millions.
- The Federal Aviation Administration approved renaming Palm Beach International Airport to Trump International Airport, with the airport code changing from PBIA to DJT effective July 9.
- Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law on March 30 mandating the renaming, and Palm Beach County Commissioners voted 4-3 earlier this month to finalize the transition.
- Analysts predict President Donald Trump could net millions from the unorthodox agreement, as The Trump Organization secured control over all licensing and merchandising rights through DTTM Operations LLC.
- Rep. Mike Levin criticized the deal as a "shakedown," noting the company retains the right to pick vendors and license the name to third parties off-site.
- While 12 airports are named after U.S. presidents, this marks the first time an airport bears the name of a sitting president, distinguishing it from historical examples like Kennedy International Airport.
