May 25, 2025 10:36 PM

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.
