Governor Ron DeSantis has signed legislation authorizing the state of Florida to name major commercial service airports. Following the new legislation, which is set to take effect July 1, 2026, Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) will be renamed “President Donald J. Trump International Airport,” pending required approvals including from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Palm Beach County will continue to own and operate the airport and the airport’s IATA code will currently remain PBI, though federal legislation regarding the code has been introduced.
“We remain committed to offering a safe, efficient and welcoming experience for all travelers,” said Palm Beach County Mayor Sara Baxter. “As the airport moves through this name change, it will continue to serve as the trusted gateway our community relies on.”
“Our goal throughout this transition is to keep everything easy and familiar for our passengers,” added director of airports Laura Beebe. “Our team will be working behind the scenes to implement the required updates, and travelers will continue to enjoy the same smooth, convenient and friendly experience they expect.”
