Florida's West Palm Beach airport is now named after Trump, but flyers will still see the PBI airport code - for now

Key Points:

• Palm Beach International Airport was officially renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport on July 9, following a law signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in March.
• Despite the name change, the airport's three-letter code will remain PBI until August 18, after which it will change to DJT, causing a 40-day period where different codes will be used for passengers and aviation operations.
• Airlines have adjusted their systems to handle the transition, ensuring passengers and baggage are correctly routed, and flight attendants may continue using "West Palm Beach" in greetings initially.
• The International Air Transport Association (IATA) rarely changes airport codes, but approved the switch from PBI to DJT at the request of major airlines serving the airport, with the change effective August 18.
• Nearly eight million passengers use the airport annually, and the renaming follows a licensing deal allowing use of Trump's name and likeness for airport advertising, though Trump will not receive royalties from merchandise sales.
