Important Identity Note: Palm Beach International Airport was officially renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport on July 9, 2026. Florida law established the new name and Palm Beach County subsequently implemented the change. Current FAA and airport records therefore use DJT/KDJT rather than PBI/KPBI. The former PBI identity remains important for historical research, legacy links, aviation records and SEO. (Laws of Florida)
2. Executive Company Overview
President Donald J. Trump International Airport, formerly Palm Beach International Airport, is a Palm Beach County-owned commercial service and general aviation airport located in West Palm Beach, Florida. Operated by the Palm Beach County Department of Airports, the facility functions simultaneously as Palm Beach County’s principal scheduled airline airport and as an important South Florida access point for private, corporate and general aviation aircraft. The airport supports airline passenger operations, business aviation, private aircraft movements, aircraft fueling and handling, international general aviation clearance, cargo activities and other aviation services through airport tenants and service providers. (Palm Beach County Government)
For private aviation users, DJT is particularly relevant because three full-service FBOs operate at the airport: Atlantic Aviation, Jet Aviation and Signature Flight Support. General aviation parking is available on designated portions of the south, west and northwest airfield, subject to operational restrictions and airport requirements. The airport also maintains a U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility supporting international general aviation arrivals. (FlyDJT)
DJT operates within Class C airspace and has a 24-hour FAA air traffic control tower. Its primary runway, 10L/28R, is 10,001 feet long and 150 feet wide, providing infrastructure capable of handling large commercial aircraft as well as long-range and large-cabin business aircraft. Two additional runways expand operational flexibility. (Federal Aviation Administration)
Palm Beach County’s FY2026 budget describes the airport as handling more than 8.5 million passengers annually, more than 165,000 aircraft operations and more than 32,000 tons of cargo, while supporting approximately $4.6 billion in estimated annual economic activity. The airport’s combination of scheduled airline service, substantial general aviation activity, multiple full-service FBOs, international clearance capability and direct access to Palm Beach County makes it particularly significant within the South Florida business aviation ecosystem.

Palm Beach County Glades Airport, PHK (FlyDJT)
7. Aircraft Expertise
As an airport rather than an aircraft operator, broker or MRO company, DJT does not have an aircraft-manufacturer specialization in the conventional PrivateJetia sense.
Aircraft Categories Supported
The airport’s runway configuration and documented mixed traffic support a broad spectrum including:
Piston general aviation aircraft
Turboprops
Light jets
Midsize jets
Super-midsize jets
Large-cabin business jets
Ultra-long-range business jets
Commercial narrowbody aircraft
Larger commercial transport aircraft
Helicopters
Government and special-mission aircraft
The primary runway’s 10,001-foot length makes DJT suitable for large transport-category aircraft subject to individual aircraft performance, weight, weather, operational and regulatory requirements. (Globalair.com)
Manufacturers
Specific airport specialization by manufacturer: Not applicable.
Aircraft from major business aviation manufacturers routinely operate within a facility of this type, but PrivateJetia does not attribute Gulfstream, Bombardier, Dassault, Embraer, Textron Aviation, Pilatus or other OEM specialization to DJT without airport-specific supporting evidence.
Aircraft Models
No specific model specialization verified.
8. Fleet Information
DJT is an airport and does not maintain a publicly identified commercial fleet comparable with an aircraft operator.
Total Fleet Size: Not applicable
Owned Aircraft: Not publicly disclosed / not applicable to core airport operations
Managed Aircraft: Not applicable
Charter Aircraft: Not applicable
Aircraft Available for Charter: Provided by third-party operators, not by the airport

Employees: A legacy LinkedIn page classifies the organization at 201 to 500 employees, but this is a third-party/self-reported platform range rather than an audited staffing figure. Palm Beach County does not clearly publish an airport-only current headcount in the sources reviewed. (LinkedIn)
Revenue: Airport-specific current revenue should be taken from Palm Beach County airport financial statements and bond disclosures rather than estimated here.
Funding: The Department of Airports is financially self-sustaining and does not rely on county ad valorem tax or general-fund revenue. Revenue sources include tenant and user fees, parking, leases, concessions, passenger facility charges and aviation grants. (Palm Beach County Government)
10. Certifications & Regulatory Status
FAA Airport Operating Regulation
DJT is a commercial service airport subject to the FAA’s airport certification framework under 14 CFR Part 139. The FAA maintains its current Part 139 airport certification list, updated September 4, 2026 and effective September 3, 2026. (Federal Aviation Administration)
Issuing / Supervising Authority: Federal Aviation Administration
FAA Air Traffic Control
24-hour FAA control tower: Verified. (Federal Aviation Administration)
Airspace
Class C: Verified. (Federal Aviation Administration)
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
DJT maintains an on-airport U.S. Customs and Border Protection general aviation inspection facility.
Published CBP location:
1612 South Perimeter Road
West Palm Beach, FL 33406 (Customs and Border Protection)
CBP’s published information should always be checked immediately before an international GA movement because permission-to-land requirements and operating hours can change.
IS-BAO / IS-BAH
These standards normally apply to operators or ground handlers rather than to the airport entity itself.
Airport-level IS-BAO: Not applicable
Airport-wide IS-BAH: Not independently verified
Individual DJT FBOs may hold their own accreditations. Those should be documented on their respective PrivateJetia company profiles rather than attributed automatically to the airport.
ARGUS / WYVERN
Not applicable to the airport entity itself.
FAA Part 145
Not an airport-wide approval. Individual maintenance companies based at DJT may hold FAA Part 145 repair-station certificates.
11. Industry Memberships
Airport-specific memberships independently verified from current official sources: Not publicly established during this research.
Potential participation in airport-industry organizations should not be inferred merely from the airport’s size or public ownership.
PrivateJetia therefore does not automatically assign:
NBAA
NATA
ACI-NA
Florida Airports Council
AAAE
or other memberships without direct verification.
12. Leadership
Director of Airports
Laura Beebe, Director, Palm Beach County Department of Airports
Palm Beach County’s FY2026 budget identifies Laura Beebe as Director of the Department of Airports, which owns and operates DJT and the county’s three general aviation airports. (Palm Beach County Government)
Planning and Development
Palm Beach County’s administrative directory identifies Lauren Scott as Deputy Director for Airports Planning & Development. (Palm Beach County Government)
Because DJT is a county-owned airport rather than a corporation, conventional positions such as CEO, founder, chairman and major shareholder do not apply in the standard corporate sense.
CEO: Not applicable
President: Not applicable
Chairman: Not applicable
CFO: Airport-specific equivalent not established from reviewed current sources
Owner’s Governing Authority: Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners
13. Ownership & Corporate Structure
Ownership Type: Public / local government
Airport Owner: Palm Beach County
Operator: Palm Beach County Department of Airports
Parent Organization: Palm Beach County government
Major Shareholders: Not applicable
Private Equity Ownership: None
Subsidiaries: Not applicable to the airport
Affiliated Airport System:
President Donald J. Trump International Airport, DJT
North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport, F45
Palm Beach County Park Airport, LNA
Palm Beach County Glades Airport, PHK (Palm Beach County Government)
The 2026 airport renaming did not change airport ownership, governance, finances or operational control. Palm Beach County remains responsible for airport policy and strategic decisions. (FlyDJT)
14. Company History & Milestones
1936: Commercial aviation operations began at what was then known as Morrison Field. The airfield was named for Grace K. Morrison, who played an important role in planning and organizing its establishment. (FlyDJT)
1960: Approximately 2,000 acres associated with Palm Beach International Airport were officially transferred to Palm Beach County ownership. (Pbia)
1966: A new main terminal was dedicated following significant airport expansion.
1974: Delta Air Lines constructed the airport’s second main terminal. (Pbia)
1988: The David McCampbell Terminal was dedicated. The project was funded with approximately $150 million in revenue bonds and substantially expanded terminal capacity. (Pbia)
2024: The airport surpassed the eight-million-passenger level on a rolling 12-month basis. (FlyDJT)
March 30, 2026: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation providing for the renaming of Palm Beach International Airport, subject to statutory conditions. (Laws of Florida)
May 5, 2026: Palm Beach County approved a perpetual, royalty-free naming-rights and license agreement enabling use of the new airport name. (Palm Beach County Government)
July 9, 2026: The airport officially became President Donald J. Trump International Airport. FAA LID changed from PBI to DJT and ICAO identifier changed from KPBI to KDJT. (FlyDJT)
August 18, 2026: IATA code changed from PBI to DJT. (FlyDJT)
2026: Palm Beach County continues runway, terminal, airport rescue and firefighting, road and passenger-facility modernization projects. (Palm Beach County Government)
15. Strategic Partnerships
For an airport, many significant relationships are concession, lease, regulatory or service-provider relationships rather than traditional corporate partnerships.
Atlantic Aviation
One of three full-service FBO providers serving private and general aviation at DJT. (FlyDJT)
Jet Aviation
Full-service FBO operator at the airport and a significant business aviation service provider. (FlyDJT)
Signature Flight Support / Signature Aviation
One of the airport’s three full-service FBO operators. (FlyDJT)
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
CBP operates the general aviation inspection capability that enables international GA arrivals to be processed at DJT. (Customs and Border Protection)
Federal Aviation Administration
FAA provides air traffic control and federal regulatory oversight and supports federally funded airport development.
Florida Department of Transportation
FDOT provides aviation grant funding for airport infrastructure projects. Palm Beach County records show 2025-2026 funding arrangements covering projects including pavement rehabilitation and airport equipment.
Collins Aerospace / ARINC
Palm Beach County maintains an airport services relationship with ARINC, part of Collins Aerospace, for common-use passenger processing software, hardware and technical support.
16. Key Differentiators
1. Three competing full-service FBOs
Private aviation customers can choose among Atlantic Aviation, Jet Aviation and Signature Flight Support at the same airport. (FlyDJT)
2. International GA clearance
The on-airport CBP facility gives qualifying private and business aircraft a direct international entry capability. (Customs and Border Protection)
3. 10,001-foot primary runway
Runway 10L/28R provides significant capability for large-cabin and long-range business jets as well as airline aircraft. (Globalair.com)
4. Mixed commercial and business aviation environment
FAA describes the traffic mix as air carrier, corporate and general aviation, giving DJT a more diverse operational profile than a dedicated commercial-only facility. (Federal Aviation Administration)
5. Direct Palm Beach market access
The airport is physically located in West Palm Beach and serves the affluent Palm Beach County market, making it operationally relevant for private aircraft traveling to Palm Beach, West Palm Beach and surrounding communities.
6. 24-hour controlled airport
The FAA tower operates continuously, an important capability for business aviation scheduling flexibility. (Federal Aviation Administration)
7. Significant general aviation activity
Palm Beach County specifically identifies DJT as having substantial GA traffic and three FBOs, while total airport activity exceeds 165,000 annual operations according to its FY2026 budget overview. (Palm Beach County Government)
Current Operational Consideration
DJT is unusually affected by VIP-related airspace restrictions because of its proximity to Mar-a-Lago. The FAA notes frequent Temporary Flight Restrictions in the area. On September 2, 2026, the FAA also published a proposed, not yet final, special air traffic rule concerning a one-nautical-mile area near the airport. Private operators should therefore check current NOTAMs and TFR information immediately before every DJT operation. (Federal Aviation Administration)

Naples Airport
Boca Raton Airport
These facilities occupy different commercial/general aviation positions, so PrivateJetia should describe them as alternative or comparable South Florida access points rather than direct competitors without a defined analytical basis.

Requires Continuing Verification
Airspace restrictions: DJT is subject to unusually dynamic VIP-related TFRs. The FAA’s September 2026 proposal concerning special air traffic rules remains a developing regulatory matter and should not be characterized as a final permanent rule unless subsequently adopted. (GovInfo)
Social media identities: Legacy PBI branding is still visible on some platforms following the July-August 2026 name and code transition.
CBP operating hours: International operators should verify CBP hours and obtain required permission immediately before flight planning because published procedures can change.
Airport coding in third-party databases: Some external aviation databases continued displaying legacy PBI/KPBI information during the transition. Current official airport information establishes DJT/KDJT as the operative identifiers. (FlyDJT)
23. Information Last Verified
Information Last Verified: September 6, 2026
Research Confidence: High
Important Data Gaps: Precise airport-only employee count; airport-specific current audited revenue in the reviewed sources; verified airport-level industry association memberships; current post-renaming social-media handles across every platform; detailed privately held FBO operating statistics; exact current Part 139 class and ARFF index not reproduced here without direct row-level confirmation from the FAA’s September 3, 2026 certification workbook.
PrivateJetia Editorial Note: For publication, the recommended entity strategy is to retain “Palm Beach International Airport, PBI” prominently as a former-name and legacy-search entity, while identifying President Donald J. Trump International Airport, DJT/KDJT as the current official airport. This avoids publishing an outdated airport identity while preserving the considerable historical and SEO relevance of PBI.
