Boeing's new Air Force One delayed until 2029 or later, official says
Boeing's new Air Force One jetliner that will eventually be tasked with transporting the U.S. president will be delayed until 2029 or later, FOX Business has learned.
An administration official confirmed to FOX Business' Edward Lawrence that the next-generation Air Force One jet is delayed due to issues that primary contractor Boeing has attributed to global supply chains and changing project requirements.
"It is ridiculous that the delivery of a new Air Force One airplane has been delayed for such a long time," White House communications director Steven Cheung told FOX Business." President Trump is working on identifying ways to speed up the delivery of a new place, which has been needed for a while."
