Trump Maintains Flights on Qatar’s Air Force One
U.S. President Donald Trump plans to continue using the Boeing 747 gifted by Qatar for his upcoming domestic and international trips, despite heightened security concerns and delays in the delivery of the new aircrafts designated for the "Air Force One" fleet. The Qatari plane requires additional security updates, which will take approximately 60 days and are currently underway starting from October, to ensure it is fully prepared in terms of security and safety. Although the cost of updating the aircraft, which initially underwent a $400 million overhaul, has exceeded $5.6 billion for the two new "Air Force One" aircraft, the U.S. government affirms that the current plane meets necessary security standards. Nonetheless, debates continue surrounding the acceptance of the plane as a gift from a foreign source and the delays in delivering the new aircraft, which are expected to meet the future needs of the U.S. presidency.
