Palm Beach airport's President Donald J Trump International rebrand celebrated as Trump plane touches down

The Trump name has landed on another marquee landmark.

President Donald J. Trump International Airport officially opened under its new name Thursday, and Eric Trump celebrated the milestone by taking the first flight into the hub.

“There’s no way in hell I was letting UPS be the first plane to land, so we got on Trump Force One… we touched down at exactly 5:01 a.m. this morning, and it was a beautiful day,” he told “Fox & Friends.”

“I don’t think there’s anybody more synonymous with Palm Beach than Donald Trump.”

The South Florida hub was formerly known as Palm Beach International Airport for nearly half a century leading up to the change. The rebrand has been linked to the president’s deep ties to the area, including his repeated presence at the airport and his Mar-a-Lago estate located a few miles away.

The president’s son also said that choosing Trump Force One to usher in the rebrand’s debut was no coincidence, tying the plane’s significance to seasons of Trump’s campaigns and his presidency.

“This is the plane that carried him to victory… It was the backdrop of so many of the presidential campaign stops,” he recalled.

“There’s so many stops with us as a family, so it was an incredibly special moment for us this morning.”

Thursday’s inaugural flight marked the ceremonial culmination of a law signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis earlier this year, which officially redesignated Palm Beach International Airport as President Donald J. Trump International Airport in recognition of the president’s longstanding ties to the area.

Reflecting on the symbolic first landing, Eric Trump said the moment represented more than a new name on the terminal — it was a tribute to his father’s legacy.

“It’s just a special moment. He’s a man that deserves it. He’s the man that’s done so much for this country,” he said.

“He’s fought like hell for all of us and, as a son who worked so hard to make this happen, I couldn’t be more proud. Today was a really, really special moment.”
