Private Jet to Palm Beach: Trump International (DJT), Jet Categories & TFR Alternatives

A private jet charter Palm Beach trip suits the island's winter season, from November to April. The main airport sits just across the lagoon, minutes from Worth Avenue's boutiques and the historic estates. Wellington's equestrian season and the spring boat show add further reasons to arrive direct.

• Close-in airport: DJT is 3.3 miles from downtown West Palm Beach.
• Long runway: 10,001 feet suits everything up to widebody VIP airliners.
• Nearby islands: Nassau is 173 nautical miles away by turboprop.

Yes, Palm Beach International became President Donald J. Trump International Airport on July 9, 2026. A private jet to West Palm Beach now files to ICAO code KDJT. The passenger code changed from PBI to DJT on August 18, 2026. Palm Beach County still owns and runs the airport.

What airport code do Palm Beach International Airport private jet flights use now?

Palm Beach International Airport private jet flights now use KDJT for flight plans and DJT on tickets and manifests. The FAA and ICAO codes changed on July 9, 2026, and the IATA code on August 18. Filing the old PBI or KPBI codes can cause a flight plan to be rejected.

Palm Beach private flights face a temporary flight restriction (TFR) whenever the President stays at Mar-a-Lago. It typically has a 10-nautical-mile inner ring and a 30-mile outer ring. Private flights into DJT then need TSA gateway screening and an advance passenger manifest. Each flight must file a flight plan and keep radio contact.

Which airports can private jets use when a Palm Beach TFR is active?

Private jets can still use DJT during a Palm Beach TFR after gateway screening, or divert to an alternate. Boca Raton (BCT) has a 6,276-foot runway and customs. Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) sits about 30 nautical miles south, near the outer ring's edge. Stuart (SUA), just outside it, suits up to light jets.

DJT is the best airport for Wellington, 11.2 straight-line miles from the Wellington International show grounds. North County (F45) is closest to Jupiter, but its 4,300-foot runways limit it to light jets. Boca Raton Airport sits 2 miles from Boca's centre. Lantana (LNA) bans jets by local ordinance.

A private jet flight to Palm Beach takes under an hour from Nassau and nearly 2.5 hours from Manhattan. A private jet New York to West Palm Beach trip covers 902 nautical miles from Teterboro. Light jets fly it in about 2 hours 25 minutes. Nantucket and Boston take roughly 2 hours 40 minutes.

• Chicago: about 2 hours 30 minutes from Midway by private midsize jet.
• Aspen: a private jet Palm Beach to Aspen flight takes about 3 hours 40 minutes.
• Dallas: about 2 hours 25 minutes from Love Field by private midsize jet.
• Geneva: roughly 9 hours nonstop by ultra-long-range private jet.

The full price will be quoted with all taxes and fees included. Contact Hogani Jets team for more details.

Pets can join a private flight to Palm Beach when the operator approves them for the cabin. Flights from within the US need no import paperwork. For dogs coming home from the Bahamas or Europe, CDC rules require a microchip and an import form receipt. Share breed and weight when requesting the quote.

Distance, aircraft size and the season set most of the private jet to Palm Beach cost. A Northeast trip suits a light or midsize jet, while Aspen needs a super midsize cabin. Peak winter weeks tighten supply. A presidential TFR can add screening time or a switch to an alternate airport.

• Season: November to April concentrates demand into a few months.
• TFR days: gateway screening or an alternate field may be needed.
• Event weeks: the boat show and equestrian season fill ramps.
• One-way trips: the aircraft may need to fly home empty.

What is the cheapest private jet to Palm Beach?

The cheapest private jet to Palm Beach is a Pilatus PC-12 NGX turboprop, at $1,300 to $2,500 per hour. It reaches Nassau or Orlando in under an hour. From the Northeast, a light jet at $2,300 to $3,800 hourly is usually the lowest-cost nonstop.

Empty leg private jets to Palm Beach are one-way repositioning flights, discounted because the aircraft would otherwise fly empty. They appear when a jet returns after a drop-off or heads to its next pickup. The timing belongs to the original trip and can change at short notice.

Palm Beach season for private jets runs from November through April, the island's social and dry season. The Winter Equestrian Festival fills January to early April in Wellington. The boat show follows in March. June to November is Atlantic hurricane season.

Which airport is closest to the Winter Equestrian Festival for a private jet?

President Donald J. Trump International (DJT) is the closest jet airport to the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington. The festival venue sits 11.2 straight-line miles west of the runway. Lantana is slightly closer but bans jets. The 2027 festival runs January 6 to April 4.

Most visitors stay on the island itself, close to Worth Avenue and the beaches. Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, on the island's southern stretch, is about 5 miles from DJT. West Palm Beach, across the lagoon, puts guests closest to the airport and the Flagler Drive waterfront.

Palm Beach blends Gilded Age history with high-end shopping and ocean beaches. Worth Avenue holds about 250 shops, restaurants and galleries. Henry Flagler's Whitehall, completed in 1902, now operates as the Flagler Museum. Architect Addison Mizner designed 67 of the town's buildings between 1919 and 1924.

• Flagler Museum: almost 100,000 visitors a year tour Whitehall.
• The Breakers: Flagler's oceanfront hotel, first opened in 1896.
• Worth Avenue: shopping history dating back to the 1920s and Via Mizner.
• Wellington: polo and show jumping through the winter.
• Bahamas hops: Nassau is under an hour away by turboprop.

• Equestrian travel: riders often fly in while horses travel separately by ground or cargo flight.
• Golf: club bags need baggage space in smaller cabins.
• Boat show week: marina and road traffic along Flagler Drive build up in March.
• Presidential visits: add buffer time for screening and possible route changes.

Palm Beach uses Eastern Time with daylight saving. The Flagler Memorial, Royal Park and Southern Boulevard bridges connect the island to the mainland. 

Flight plans must use the new KDJT code, not the old PBI identifiers. International arrivals need a valid passport for each passenger.

Hogani Jets, based in Miami, plans each Palm Beach private jet charter with the TFR calendar in view. If restrictions are active, the trip is rebuilt around Boca Raton or Fort Lauderdale Executive. Founder Matt Hogan brings experience from more than 2,000 charters across over 90 countries.

Every operator's Part 135 certificate, insurance coverage, and safety record is independently reviewed before booking, with ARGUS, Wyvern, or IS-BAO ratings considered where they exist as one part of that review.

• TFR planning: screening, manifests or an alternate airport arranged in advance.
• Season holds: aircraft secured early for holiday and boat show weeks.
• Right field: DJT, Boca Raton or North County matched to the address.
