Story
President Donald J. Trump International Airport (DJT) is the gateway to the Palm Beaches and the center for all commercial air carrier service into Palm Beach County, serving more than 8.7 million passengers a year. Palm Beach County operates and maintains the airport through its Department of Airports. It is located 2.5 miles west of downtown West Palm Beach, next to I-95.
The airport opened in 1936 as Morrison Field, named after Grace K. Morrison, a pioneer in the early planning of the area. The first airline flight was an Eastern Air Lines DC-2 bound for New York, and the field was officially dedicated on December 19, 1936. During World War II it became a major military transportation hub: more than 6,200 aircraft and 45,000 airmen passed through, many heading to missions connected with the D-Day invasion of Normandy.
Recent honors include 10th Best U.S. Airport in Travel + Leisure's 2026 World's Best Awards, 5th Best Airport in the U.S. by Condé Nast Traveler (2024) and 6th Best Medium Airport in the 2026 J.D. Power North America Airport Satisfaction Survey.
