West Palm Beach Airport Renamed — Airport Code Changing to DJT


Palm Beach International Airport in West Palm Beach has officially been renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport. The name change took effect July 9, 2026, with signage and branding updates being phased in.


Important for travelers: The passenger-facing IATA airport code will change from PBI to DJT effective August 18, 2026. Beginning on that date, DJT will be used in airline reservation systems, ticketing, baggage tags, and other travel industry platforms. Until then, travelers should continue using PBI when booking or managing flights. Travelers can also search by West Palm Beach during the transition.
