WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The Federal Aviation Administration announced on Thursday that the name change at Palm Beach International Airport, or PBI, was official.
The federal agency’s new instruction: “Pilots, air traffic controllers, and aviation stakeholders should use DJT for flight planning and operations.”
Eric Trump and Rep. Byron Donalds reported that Trump Force One had landed early Thursday morning at The Donald J. Trump International Airport, at 1000 James L. Turnage Boulevard.
“There is no person who has done more for Florida and our country, and no one more deserving of this incredible honor,” Eric Trump wrote on Instagram. “As a son, and someone who flies out of this airport nearly every day, I will forever be proud to see the initials DJT on my boarding pass.”
