The quick answer
Hey, neighbor. The airport you may still call PBI is now President Donald J. Trump International Airport, and since August 18, 2026 its airline code is DJT. It sits about 4 miles from West Palm Beach, so the ride to Clematis Street is short: Uber’s average is about 9 minutes and $18.
| What changed | Date |
|---|---|
| New I-95 exit signs went up | July 2, 2026 |
| New name took effect | July 9, 2026 |
| Airline code changed from PBI to DJT | August 18, 2026 |
Book under DJT, because the code is what reservations, check-in, and baggage tracking use. The county still owns and runs the airport, and officials say flights and services are not affected. The airport’s address is 1000 James L. Turnage Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33406, and its website is now flydjt.org.
