Palm Beach International Airport in Florida has officially changed its name to President Donald J. Trump International Airport. The airport\u2019s passenger-facing IATA code has also changed from PBI to DJT.\u00a0 Travelers should therefore look for DJT when booking flights to or from the airport. The IATA code change took effect on Tuesday, August 18, 2026. Travelers should now use DJT when searching for flights, making reservations, checking flight information, or handling other travel arrangements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The airport name change itself took effect earlier, on July 9, 2026, following legislation signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on March 30, 2026. Despite the new name and code, airport operations remain unchanged. Flights, passenger services, airport facilities, and day-to-day operations continue as normal. The airport is located in West Palm Beach, Florida, and serves Palm Beach County and surrounding communities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Will Flights Be Affected by the Code Change?<\/b><\/h3>\n

No. The change from PBI to DJT does not mean flights are being canceled, rerouted, or moved to another airport. Passengers can continue to use the airport as usual. The airport’s services and facilities remain operational. The code change is primarily an administrative and technology update affecting how the airport is identified in airline and travel systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will Airport Services Change?<\/b><\/h3>\n

No major service changes are associated with the new name or code. The airport continues to provide its existing passenger services, airline operations, parking, ground transportation, and other airport facilities. The name change also does not transfer ownership or operational control of the airport.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Should Passengers Do Before Booking a Flight?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Travelers planning to fly to or from President Donald J. Trump International Airport should keep the following points in mind:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Search for DJT when looking for the airport.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Confirm the airport name and location before purchasing a ticket.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Check your airline confirmation after booking.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Allow for possible database updates across third-party travel websites.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. If DJT does not appear, try searching for West Palm Beach.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Travelers who already have tickets showing PBI generally do not need to assume that their flights have been changed. The airport’s code transition does not itself change the flight or a passenger’s itinerary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The airport has officially begun a new chapter as President Donald J. Trump International Airport<\/a>. With PBI replaced by DJT as the IATA code on August 18, 2026, travelers should now use the new code when booking flights and checking airport information. Passenger services and flight operations remain unchanged.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
