The international airport just minutes away from Donald Trump's Florida home has been officially renamed.
Palm Beach International Airport has, as of Thursday, become the President Donald J Trump International Airport.
'The 3-letter location identifier for PBI is changing during the overnight to DJT,' read a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) alert sent out on Wednesday evening.
The change comes after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a law in March to rename Trump's hometown airport after the 45th and 47th President.
Though the FAA three-letter code has changed to DJT, passengers may have to wait to see the President's initials on their boarding passes.
The airport's code will remain PBI for reservations, ticketing and baggage tags until August 18, according to its website.
'I am deeply honored that at 5:01 a.m., Trump Force One will be the first plane to land at the newly renamed Palm Beach International Airport — now and forever President Donald J. Trump International Airport (DJT),' Eric Trump posted on X celebrating the renaming.
'There is no person who has done more for Florida and our country, and no one more deserving of this incredible honor. 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.'
The newly minted Trump airport handles nearly eight million travelers annually.
Palm Beach County commissioners greenlit a licensing deal allowing Trump's name on the site, as the Trump Organization has trademarked it.
The deal prohibits the Trumps from profiting off of royalties from the name, though the airport can use the President's name and image in advertising.

That’s absolutely, 100% awesome and funny! The meltdowns going on all over the American left must be classic!
Much better than Harry Reid airport here in Vegas.
Delta, Juliette, Tango. Nice!!
I didn't know they ever changed those identifiers.
It’ll be fun to walk through Whole Foods today and see the angry faces of the shopping libs. They’re always angry/sad but now I’ll know why the long face for today!
Interesting that they did,,,after all, when National airport in DC was changed to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, they never changed the identfier,,,it is still DCA.
The media still avoids calling it Ronald Reagan.
Schumer is fuming I’m sure. Since Trump is a NY Native...Let me suggest.....renaming....Pondering...
On the other hand, I refer to the big international airport outside NYC as “Idlewild.”
Same when Adams Field was changed to Bill and Hillary Clinton Airport, it is still LIT.
Love it!
National Airport is named after two presidents.
“Nationwide air traffic alert “
Such hyperbole is usually used for emergencies. The TDS children at the mail just can’t help themselves.
Only reason I love this is because you know it’s going to drive the never trumpers and leftists insane.
Sorry, I’ve always opposed naming anything after anyone who is still in elected office. This should have been done after noon on 20 JAN 2029.
Just think of the inherent joy in this in so many ways.
CAPTAIN: Good afternoon. This is your Captain speaking. We are beginning our descent into the Donald J. Trump International Airport. Please...excuse me...(in sotto voce to a flight attendant) what is that sound?
FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Don't worry, sir. Those are the passengers who are from West Palm Beach...
Heh, see my post above!

Sorry, why have you “always” been opposed?
