NBC News • • nation
Key Points:
- Palm Beach International Airport has been officially renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport, following a bill signed into law by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in March.
- The renaming ceremony featured the first landing of "Trump Force One," the private jet used by Trump during his campaign, marking a symbolic start to the airport’s new identity.
- The renaming will cost at least $5.5 million and involves updating signage, branding, and other materials, with a transition period where old and new branding will coexist.
- In Tennessee, a bridge on I-40 in Jefferson County was renamed the President Donald J. Trump Bridge, replacing its former name, the Francis Burnett Swann Memorial Bridge, as part of a broader legislative effort.
- The airport’s three-letter code will remain "PBI" until August 18, when it is scheduled to change to "DJT" to align with the new airport name.
