White House: Trump to fly old Air Force One for about a month as Qatari-gifted jet gets 'upgrades'

Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

President Donald Trump said the Qatari-donated Boeing 747-8 now serving as Air Force One will be sent for additional security upgrades in about a month and be “maxed out” with protective systems. The White House said the work will take approximately one month, during which Trump will use the older Air Force One aircraft. Trump first flew on the renovated jet on July 1. The planned upgrades follow questions over whether the aircraft has the same defensive capabilities as existing presidential planes.
