Summary of HR 8054 (119th Congress)

Purpose and intent

HR 8054 proposes to designate the Palm Beach International Airport, located in Florida, as the “Donald J. Trump International Airport.”

The bill also directs how references to the airport should be treated in federal records and sets steps to change its identifying codes.

Key provisions and changes

Designation (Section 1(a)):

The Palm Beach International Airport shall be known and designated as the “Donald J. Trump International Airport” after enactment.

Reference in law (Section 1(b)):

Any reference in laws, regulations, maps, documents, papers, or other U.S. records to the airport must be interpreted as referring to the “Donald J. Trump International Airport.”

Airport identifying letters (Section 1(c)):

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator is required to coordinate with relevant international and national organizations (e.g., IATA, ICAO, FAA Location Identifier, WMO) and any other entity that assigns location identifiers to change the airport’s identifying letters to “DJT.”
This would affect numeric or alphabetic location identifiers associated with the airport.

Who/what is affected

Palm Beach International Airport and its official designation in federal records.

Federal agencies and international aviation bodies that use airport identifiers (e.g., IATA codes, ICAO codes, FAA location identifiers, and related meteorological or mapping systems).

Any references in laws or government documents that mention the airport by its current name would subsequently refer to the new designation.

Procedural and timeline aspects

Status: Introduced March 24, 2026; referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, then to the Subcommittee on Aviation (as of action history).

Timeline implication: If enacted, the designation would take effect upon enactment of the bill. The FAA Administrator would begin coordinating with international and national bodies to change the formal airport identifiers, which can involve administrative changes across multiple systems (IATA, ICAO, FAA location identifiers, WMO, etc.).

Potential impacts and considerations

Branding and signage: The airport would officially carry the name “Donald J. Trump International Airport,” which could affect signage, branding, and local/visitor references.

International and domestic aviation systems: The change to the identifying letters to “DJT” would require updates across airline booking systems, air traffic control databases, meteorological records, and international aviation databases.

Local and federal documentation: Any federal or state documents referencing the airport by its current name would need to be updated to reflect the new designation.

Note: This summary focuses on the bill’s explicit provisions and their direct implications. If enacted, implementation would involve coordination between the FAA and international aviation organizations to reflect the new name and the new airport code.
