45-second read · 4 questions answered below

What does this do?

HR 8054 would officially rename Palm Beach International Airport in West Palm Beach, Florida to Donald J. Trump International Airport. All U.S. government documents, maps, laws, and records would use the new name. The bill also directs the Federal Aviation Administration to work with international aviation organizations to change the airport's short code from PBI to DJT.

Who does it affect?

Three Florida members of Congress introduced the bill in the House in March 2026. Travelers flying through West Palm Beach, airline companies, and local businesses that use the airport name or code in their materials would be most directly affected.

Why does it matter?

The bill is currently in the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and whether it becomes law depends on committee advancement and votes in both chambers. The name and identifier change would require airlines, businesses, and government agencies to update any materials referencing the airport.
