Qatari jet

President Donald Trump is taking his first trip on a retrofitted Qatari jet serving as Air Force One for a flight to North Dakota. The aircraft has been modified for presidential use.

President Donald Trump unveiled a new Air Force One, a Qatari-owned jet converted into the U.S. presidential aircraft with a navy blue and red color scheme. The jet serves as a temporary replacement until Boeing delivers new planes in 2028, despite ethics concerns over accepting a foreign gift. Trump reinstated his preferred color design after reversing a prior decision by President Joe Biden.

President Donald Trump unveiled a new Air Force One, a converted Qatari-owned jet with a navy blue and red color scheme, intended as a temporary replacement until new Boeing planes arrive in 2028. The aircraft replaces the Kennedy-era blue design and includes security modifications costing under $400 million. The Air Force confirmed older VC-25A jets will remain in service alongside the Qatari jet until the new Boeing VC-25Bs are operational.

The U.S. is saying goodbye to Air Force One as a Qatari jet awaits. Air Force One, carrying President Donald Trump, departed from Geneva Airport after the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France.
