WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Boeing has proposed delivering its delayed new version of Air Force One in 2027, a U.S. Air Force official said on Wednesday. President Donald Trump negotiated with Boeing for a pair of new 747-8 aircraft during his 2017-2021 first administration. They were initially expected to be delivered in 2024.

A top U.S. Air Force official said Boeing is proposing to deliver its new version of Air Force One by 2027 to satisfy President Trump's demand for the updated presidential jet by the end of his second term.

Boeing (NYSE:BA) is aiming to hand over the next-generation Air Force One jets by 2027, a goal driven in part by President Donald Trump’s desire to have the aircraft ready before the end of his second term,
