Boeing will likely not ship the new Air Force One until 2029, at the earliest.
In 2015, the Air Force awarded Boeing the contract to replace the planes in the 747s in the Presidential fleet
In 2018, Boeing and the Trump administration agreed on a price of $3.9B for two new planes.
The original scheduled called for delivery, this year. The bankruptcy of a supplier and other delays pushed delivery of the first to 2026 with the second one delivered the next year.
Now, the projected date for both is 2029.
Because this a fixed price contract, Boeing is projected to take a $2B loss on the project.
