President Donald Trump has been pressing for a pair up to now few days in regards to the long waiting for a pair Boeing 747S which might be an aircraft one as latest aircraft.
The jets are behind the schedule for years. In his first term, Trump negotiated the contract over 4 billion US dollars for the aircraft, and it is just not clear whether or not they are finished during his current case. So far, the fee of costs has greater than 2 billion US dollars.
Trump Advisor Elon Musk works with Boeing, hoping to deliver the plane faster, the managing director of the manufacturer, Kelly Ortberg, repeated on Thursday.
“The president is clearly not satisfied with the delivery time. I think he made it so known,” said Ortberg at a Barclay's industrial conference. “Elon Musk actually helps us to meet the requirements … to help us get things that are not valuable restrictions out of the way so that we can move faster and these planes can be delivered to the president.”
Ortberg called Musk, CEO von SpaceX, who competes with Boeing's defense and space unit, a “brilliant guy” that “can find the difference between technical requirements and things that we can move out of the way”.
On board one in all the present 747 of the President, Trump told reporters on Wednesday that he was considering alternatives.
“We can buy an airplane or get an airplane or something,” he said, in response to Reuters. Trump visited a 747, which was parked on the International Palm Beach Airport in Florida on the weekend, reported the outlet.
The White House didn’t immediately answer a request for a comment.
Frustration is for Boeing's airline customers who were faced with long delays for aircraft when the post-pandemical travel boom was exposed. An almost catastrophe door clamp in January 2024 continued the Boeing deliveries and led to a change in leadership.
Now some customers have gotten more optimistic. The managers announced CNBC that the manufacturer had shot a corner under Ortberg, who took over the helm in August.
“Boeing does a rather wonderful job to get more reliable as a supplier,” said the CFO of United Airlines, Mike Leskinen, at the identical Barclays conference on Wednesday. “Our trust that our maximum aircraft will be delivered on schedule has never been greater during my tenure at United Airlines.”
Bob Jordan, CEO of All-Boeing 737 Carrier Southwest AirlinesDuring a winning call on January thirtieth: “While you still have a lot to do, you seem to be on the right track and we feel more optimistic.”
Boeing Ortberg said on Thursday on the Barclays Conference that he doesn’t see any problems with the availability chain that might prevent the manufacturer from increasing the production of its money cow 737 Max aircraft, his bestseller, to 38 a month in the approaching months.
