President Donald J. Trump International Airport Debuts in Palm Beach

West Palm Beach’s Palm Beach International Airport has been renamed the President Donald J. Trump International Airport; the FAA confirmed the change, with the location identifier switching from PBI to DJT (the IATA change slated for Aug. 18). Carriers are already displaying DJT in bookings while PBI remains searchable. The branding overhaul, costing about $5.5 million, is funded by Florida, with $2.75 million from the state and the rest from local budgets; Gov. DeSantis signed the bill authorizing the name change, and Eric Trump said DJT would be the first plane to land at the renamed airport.

FAA probes ultra-low Boeing 777 flyby at Texas airfield

Flight-tracking data show a Boeing 777 performing a dangerously low pass at Horseshoe Bay Resort Jet Center in Central Texas during a pre-delivery test flight leased by Jetran and painted in Qatar Airways livery; the jet was reportedly as close as 25 feet to the ground, and the FAA is investigating. Qatar Airways Cargo says the aircraft was leased and not operated by their staff, while former NTSB Chair Sumwalt called the maneuver “stupid pilot tricks” and warned pilots’ credentials could be suspended.

The maneuver is under review by the FAA and other authorities. The operator, Jetran LLC, says the flight does not reflect standard practices, while veteran pilots say such stunts are reckless and potentially dangerous, with possible fines or license action looming if regulatory rules were violated.

FAA probes near-miss as Delta and American jets skim Boston Logan runways

The FAA is investigating a close call at Boston Logan International Airport after Delta Air Lines Flight 2351 aborted its landing on an intersecting runway as American Airlines Flight 3161 was accelerating for takeoff. Air traffic control audio indicates the two aircraft came within several hundred feet of each other before the Delta flight performed an evasive go-around and landed safely. The incident underscores ongoing aviation safety concerns, though go-arounds are a routine measure to prevent runway incursions.
