PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — A bomb threat prompted a significant law enforcement response Thursday morning, temporarily shutting down Interstate 95 exits leading to President Donald J. Trump International Airport (DJT) before authorities determined there was no active threat.

According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO), deputies received a call at approximately 7:13 a.m. reporting a threat to bomb an airport. Officials said the caller did not specifically identify President Donald J. Trump International Airport or Palm Beach County International Airport by name.

As a precaution, law enforcement temporarily closed access ramps from Interstate 95 while deputies investigated the threat. The temporary closures caused delays for motorists and travelers heading to the airport during the morning commute.

Following a search and assessment, the sheriff's office announced the area had been cleared and that airport operations have returned to normal. An airport spokesperson referred all questions regarding the investigation to PBSO and declined further comment.

Authorities have not released information about the source of the threat or whether any arrests have been made. The investigation remains ongoing.

Airport Name Changed Earlier This Month

The incident comes just weeks after the airport officially became President Donald J. Trump International Airport on July 9, 2026, following legislation approved by the Florida Legislature and signed by Governor Ron DeSantis.

While the airport now carries its new name, the change has had no impact on airport operations, airlines, or passenger services.

Travelers should also be aware that although the airport is now officially known as DJT, airline reservations will continue using the familiar PBI airport code until August 18, 2026, when the International Air Transport Association (IATA) officially transitions the airport identifier to DJT.
