Florida officials rename Palm Beach International Airport for President Donald Trump, a change carried out under state legislation signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. The airport—previously known as Palm Beach International Airport for nearly half a century—now bears the name “President Donald J. Trump International Airport,” with crews reportedly replacing signage to reflect the new designation. Coverage notes the ceremony framed the day as a major event, with Trump and supporters marking the change publicly. Eric Trump, who attended the event and highlighted Palm Beach’s association with his father, is mentioned across outlets as celebrating the renaming. Several reports also note operational and practical considerations for travelers: while the airport’s public name changes, the airport code “PBI” is expected to remain in use, at least for now, affecting how airlines and passengers reference the location in schedules and systems. Other outlets describe the renaming as part of a broader effort to expand Trump’s public branding, while acknowledging that the move draws criticism and backlash online. Overall, sources agree on the renaming’s completion, its legal basis in DeSantis-signed legislation, and the continued relevance of established airport identifiers.
