The airport in West Palm Beach, Florida, has officially been renamed after President Donald Trump, the first time an airport has been named after a sitting U.S. president, CNBC reports.
Effective Thursday, the facility will be called President Donald J. Trump International Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
The airport – formerly Palm Beach International Airport – said in an FAQ posted online that “updates to signage, branding and public‑facing materials, will occur in phases.”
As part of the transition, the airport’s FAA locational identifier will change from PBI to DJT. The International Air Transport Association code change is set to occur on Aug. 18.
Major U.S. carriers including United Airlines and Delta Air Lines began putting the new airport code DJT on their booking pages on Thursday, though consumers searching for flights can still use the old PBI code to find the airport.
More than a dozen airlines fly into the facility, including domestic leaders Delta, United, American Airlines and Southwest Airlines.
