The U.S. Air Force is set to replace its aging Boeing 747-200B Air Force One aircraft with a new Boeing 747-8, following a contract awarded to Boeing in 2023, with delivery anticipated in 2027. The new aircraft, gifted by Qatar's ruling family and facilitated by Jared Kushner, is currently undergoing retrofitting to meet security standards, with funding for integration included in the FY24 budget and expected completion by late 2026.
