Palm Beach Airport began rebranding on Thursday, July 9, after Florida law changed its name to President Donald J. Trump International Airport. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the 2026 bill, and the airport said travelers would see the transition unfold over the next several weeks.
The airport posted: "We are officially in transition mode!" It said it was working behind the scenes to update physical signage, terminal spaces and digital channels to the new name.
Ron DeSantis and July 1
The law took effect on July 1, setting up the change before the airport started the public rebrand on July 9. That gap left the airport with a formal name change on paper first, then a visible transition for travelers later.
The airport also said, "We’re working behind the scenes to update our physical signage, terminal spaces, and digital channels to our new name: President Donald J. Trump International Airport."
West Palm Beach travel
For travelers using Palm Beach Airport, the change means the old name and the new branding will appear together for now. The airport said, "Because an entire airport transformation doesn’t happen overnight, you’ll notice a combination of both our classic look and our new brand elements coexisting while traveling through the terminal over the next several weeks."
That overlap gives passengers the clearest signal of what to expect at the airport during the transition: a gradual switch in the places they see the name, from signs in the terminal to digital channels tied to the airport’s operations.
Florida airport names
The same law also solidified preexisting names for other Florida airports, including Tampa International Airport. For now, Palm Beach Airport remains in the middle of the change, with the rename in force and the visible rollout still underway.
The practical question for travelers is straightforward: the airport has already started the shift, but the full rebrand will take several weeks to finish.
