Boeing: Next-generation Air Force One still on track for 2028, but costs likely to rise further Boeing says it remains on track to deliver two next-generation presidential jets by 2028, but the program will require immediate additional spending and may see further cost growth. The company reports costs already exceeding $5 billion and points to overruns tied to late-stage final assembly, wiring, structures and certification work.
