Palm Beach airport renamed for President Trump

The Palm Beach International Airport has been redesignated as the President Donald J. Trump International Airport on Thursday, the FAA announced. The name change is a nod to the president's longstanding ties to the area, as he frequently uses the airport when traveling to and from his Mar-a-Lago club. This is the first time an airport has been named after a sitting U.S. president. "Trump Force One," the Trump Organization's private plane, was the first plane to arrive at the airport under the new name early Thursday morning. Trump's son Eric Trump was aboard the plane. The airport code will change from PBI to DJT in August.
