  "account": "Florida's Palm Beach International Airport has been renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport. The name officially changed on July 9, 2026, with the IATA code also updating from PBI to DJT on August 18. The total cost for the renaming, including new signage with the presidential seal, is estimated at $5.5 million. President Trump had expressed interest in having an airport named after him since his first term in office. On July 9, 2026, Palm Beach International Airport was officially renamed after Trump. While new signage has already been installed, the IATA code remained PBI until the change to DJT on August 18, 2026. State funding of $2.75 million will cover part of the project, with the Department of Airports seeking additional funding sources for the remaining cost. The airport's operations and passenger experience have been acknowledged, with a statement expressing gratitude for continued support during the transition period. Despite some changes, the airport's core focus remains providing a safe, reliable, and welcoming travel experience.",
