Summary
Palm Beach and Dandridge officials unveiled new signs Thursday naming Palm Beach International Airport and a Jefferson County bridge after Donald Trump.
$5.5 million will fund the airport transition, with signage, branding and digital updates rolling out over the next several weeks as the facility shifts to President Donald J. Trump International Airport.
Aug. 18 is when the airport’s three-letter code is set to change from PBI to DJT, though Eric Trump said Trump Force One was the first plane to land after the official rename.
The dual honors came weeks after a federal judge ordered Trump’s name removed from the Kennedy Center, ending a monthslong court fight over signage there.
