The Qatari-gifted luxury jet serving as Air Force One is scheduled to undergo upgrades this fall, rendering it unavailable for approximately one month, the White House announced. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the current aircraft is "perfectly safe for the President’s travels." However, it will "receive additional upgrades and enhancements" during the planned downtime.

Details regarding the specific nature of these upgrades were not provided. During the period the newer jet is out of service, President Trump will utilize an older version of Air Force One for his travel needs. The upgrade process is expected to take about a month to complete, with the White House assuring the safety of the President's journeys on the interim aircraft.
