May 1 (Reuters) - The U.S. government has commissioned
L3Harris ( LHX ) to overhaul a Boeing 747 formerly used by the
Qatari government to use as an interim Air Force One, the Wall
Street Journal reported on Thursday.
President Donald Trump wants to have the plane available for
use as early as the fall, WSJ report added.
Boeing ( BA ) said in January it was working with the Trump
administration to speed up delivery of two replacement
presidential aircraft, which were not expected to be delivered
until later this decade.
