Palm Beach International Airport and a bridge in Jefferson County, Tennessee, have been officially renamed to honor Donald J. Trump, with signage unveiled on Thursday in a celebration of his enduring legacy and service to the American people.
Officials in Palm Beach, Florida, and Dandridge, Tennessee, proudly unveiled new signage on Thursday, naming Palm Beach International Airport as President Donald J. Trump International Airport and a Jefferson County bridge as the President Donald J. Trump Bridge. These historic changes, enacted after Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation in March and following a state law passed last year, are fitting tributes to a president who put America First and fought tirelessly for the nation’s prosperity.
'From this day forward, every driver that encounters this bridge will see that it bears his name, because he has never stopped fighting for the people who travel on it because he has made their cause his own,' Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said at the Tennessee ceremony, capturing the spirit of gratitude felt by millions of Americans.
The airport expects the renaming to cost at least $5.5 million for updates to signage, branding, and related materials—an investment in preserving the legacy of a leader who transformed the country. The three-letter airport code will remain PBI until it is changed to DJT on Aug. 18, a fitting tribute to President Trump’s lasting impact.
The Trump family secured a trademark for the new airport name in February, and the airport announced an agreement with the family regarding the trademark, ensuring the integrity of the name. The first flight under the new name was a private jet owned by the former president, landing shortly after the change was announced—a momentous occasion marking this well-deserved honor.
