Editor's note: This story has been updated. Trump's visit to Melbourne on Saturday is confirmed.

President Donald Trump has tentative plans to visit Melbourne on Saturday as part of a "thank you" rally, according to local officials.

Details are sketchy at this point, but local officials and GOP representatives are planning on a late afternoon visit by Trump at Orlando Melbourne International Airport.

Brevard County spokesman Don Walker said: “We have been told the president will be in Melbourne on Saturday, but we cannot confirm any of the details of the trip at this time.”

"I was told to stay in town," Melbourne Mayor Kathy Meehan said.

Meehan said she and Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey are scheduled to introduce Trump, the nation's 45th president, who was last at the airport in late September prior to his election the following November.

"Of course, all of this is subject to change," Meehan said, noting Trump's initial visit to Melbourne was scheduled for this Sunday and the day was later changed to Saturday.

Ivey said: “I’m still awaiting more details, but I would always be willing to speak at an event for our president in any capacity.”

Lori Booker, a spokeswoman for Orlando Melbourne International said Tuesday: "The airport can confirm that it has been contacted for a possible visit by the president this weekend, possibly Saturday."

The airport is working with the White House on the logistics of Trump's visit and more details in the next couple of days. The airport said it would be the first visit by Air Force One to the Melbourne airport in three decades.

Details about the availability of tickets for the event have not been announced.

Brevard Republican Party Chairman Rick Lacey said he had not received official confirmation, but Trump's possible visit has been talked about in GOP circles for the last few days.

"If he is coming, we are very excited to have the president visit us again," Lacey said.

Lacey said he expects Trump's speech would focus on his first 100 days in office, including plans to "secure our borders, strengthen our military," strengthen the economy and reverse executive orders of former President Barack Obama.

On Sept. 27, Trump made a campaign speech at the AeroMod International hangar at Orlando Melbourne International Airport. The audience — which Melbourne Police Chief Steve Mimbs estimated was about 8,500 inside the hangar — frequently interrupted the speech with cheering and chants of "U-S-A." Thousands more people who wanted to attend could not get inside because of building capacity limits.

On Tuesday, the Federal Aviation Administration issued “VIP Temporary Flight Restrictions” for Saturday, imposing special restrictions on aircraft operating within 30 miles of the Melbourne airport.

Trump, who won Florida in the election, assumed office on Jan. 20. Almost immediately, his selections for key cabinet positions and an executive order on travel restrictions involving residents coming from a handful of mostly Muslim countries have drawn debate and controversy throughout the country.
