A Florida airport is now named after Trump, with old airport code still used for now [View all]

Palm Beach International Airport became President Donald J. Trump International Airport on Thursday, but while the signage may change, the official airport code will not for another month.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law in March to officially change the airport name in honor of President Trump, and the Federal Aviation Administration issued guidance that the name will change on July 9.

However, the three letter airport code that passengers most often see — which is currently PBI — will not change to DJT until Aug. 18.

That means that for 40 days, the FAA locational identifier and the International Civil Aviation Organization will be using a different airport code for pilots, air traffic controllers and aviation operations, DJT, than passengers will be using for ticketing and flight information, PBI.

Have they ever renamed anything for a sitting president before this?
