Boeing Working with Trump Advisor Elon Musk to deliver delayed over -forced Air Force One substitute for possibilities, CEO Kelly Ortberg said on Tuesday.
The couple of Boeing 747, which is able to function the following aircraft from Air Force One, are greater than 2 billion US dollars over the budget and years too late, which has attributed the corporate to design changes, work restrictions and problems of the availability chain. President Donald Trump accomplished a deal for the plane in his first term after threatening to “cancel order”! Before he took office in 2017 and complained about high costs.
“We dealt with Elon in the Air Force One program to eliminate the costs and deliver the plane earlier and his prospects of 2025.
It is not clear whether the plane will be delivered before Trump's current term of office has expired. A spokesman for the Air Force announced CNBC that an updated delivery plan is expected from Boeing in spring.
Trump cut a cake with a model of the Air Force One – in a new color scheme – decorated with a sword on January 20 on January 20.
Musk, whose companies compete with Boeing Space Unit, has worked closely with Trump in the past few months. The billionaire also heads Trump's commission, which he commissioned to reduce government spending.
Muschus and the white house did not immediately comment.
“The president desires to work with Elon earlier, so we work with Elon to see what we are able to do to attain the schedule of those programs,” said Ortberg.
Boeing was taken in the last quarter of 1.7 billion US dollars for the defense and space unit of 1.7 billion US dollars, including for the Air Force One program. Ortberg, which became CEO in August, replaced the head of this business with an internal, preliminary guide in September.
