President Trump wants to replace Air Force One with a newer, more luxurious Boeing 747-8 owned by the Qatari royal family. He considers the current Air Force One outdated compared to other world leaders' planes. The Qatari plane, a $400 million gift, is larger, faster, and boasts lavish interiors, but its conversion would require extensive security modifications. Critics raise concerns about potential Emoluments Clause violations, while the White House claims the gift is intended for the Air Force, not Trump personally. The new Air Force One is expected to be completed by 2027.
