[New Air Force One Deliveries Delayed Again, Boeing May Failing to Deliver Before Trump's Term] ⑴ The U.S. Air Force has reportedly delayed the expected delivery date of the first of two new Air Force One passenger jets by another year, to mid-2028. ⑵ This delay further narrows Boeing's chances of meeting President Trump's requirement to deliver the aircraft before the end of his term. ⑶ The U.S. Air Force confirmed the latest estimate in a statement, saying the timeline "is the result of ongoing consultations between Boeing and the Air Force." ⑷ Boeing had previously proposed delivering the aircraft in 2027, a date three years later than the original contractually agreed December 2024. ⑸ The continued delays highlight the complexity and execution challenges of large-scale defense procurement projects, and once again bring the gap between political promises and industrial realities into focus.
