Trump's Proposed Air Force One: Billions and Years of Delays | JQJO

Converting a Qatari-owned 747 into a new Air Force One for Donald Trump would cost over $1 billion and take years, according to aviation experts. Refurbishing the 13-year-old jet would exceed its current value and might not be completed by 2029. Experts say the project is impractical, as Boeing is already building replacements. The Qatari jet would require extensive dismantling and installation of top-secret systems, potentially delaying completion into the 2030s. Boeing could benefit financially from a new contract for this project.
