Signage updates continue as airport prepares for Donald J. Trump International rebrand
PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — The Palm Beach International Airport is set to officially be renamed the Donald J. Trump International Airport on Thursday, and crews continue to update signage.On Wednesday morning, workers were spotted at the airport entrance, adding a new sign that says "Welcome to President Donald J. Trump International Airport."
The sign, which was being hung as travelers approach the terminal, is navy blue with white lettering.Last week, crews were busy on Interstate 95 southbound changing signage on Exit 69B.The official three-letter designation from PBI to DJT, used for airline reservations and for navigation purposes, is expected to happen Aug. 18.The airport posted a statement on its website addressing the transition: "While we recognize that the required name change may be received in different ways by our passengers, we're grateful for your continued support through this transition period."Two ongoing lawsuits are attempting to stop the name change. One lawsuit claims the change happened without the consent of the county or coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration, citing safety concerns and cost to taxpayers. A separate suit was filed in May against the county over its approval of a Trademark License Agreement with Trump in connection with the rebranding of PBIA.Read more coverage of the airport name change below:
