'I Am Honored': Trump Celebrates 'Very Big Day' After Florida Renames Palm Beach Airport to DJT - The Economic Times Video

- On Thursday, July 9, 2026, the Palm Beach International Airport was officially renamed the President Donald J. Trump International Airport, with the private jet Trump Force One landing shortly after 5 a.m. to mark the transition.

- Officials estimate the rebrand costs approximately $5.5 million, with $2.75 million from state appropriations; the FAA identifier switched to DJT, while the IATA code remains PBI until August 18, 2026.
- Eric Trump noted that it was important for his father's plane to be "the first wheels to touch down," while Palm Beach County Mayor Sara Baxter called the 30-minute flight "touching a piece of history."
- This rebranding mirrors the renaming of the Francis Burnett Swann Memorial Bridge in Tennessee; President Donald Trump praised the move on Truth Social, calling it a "spectacular vote" and predicting the facility will soon become world-class.
