Considering buying used planes for Air Force One amid Boeing delays: Trump
President Donald Trump said Wednesday he is considering buying used Boeing aircraft perhaps from an overseas seller to use as Air Force One when he's aboard, as he fumes over the US plane-maker's delays in producing two specially modified ones for presidential use. Speaking to reporters aboard one of the two nearly 35-year-old Boeing 747-200 aircraft in current use, Trump said, We're looking at alternatives, because it's taking Boeing too long. We may go and buy a plane, Trump said, adding that he could then convert it. He later clarified that he was ruling out purchasing aircraft of Airbus, the European company that is the only other global supplier on large wide-body aircraft, but would consider a second-hand Boeing plane. I would not consider Airbus. I could buy one from another country perhaps or get one from another country."

Trump tours Boeing plane to highlight delay in delivering new Air Force One
President Donald Trump toured a Boeing airplane to check out new hardware and technology features and highlight the aircraft maker's delay in delivering updated versions of the Air Force One presidential aircraft, the White House said Saturday. Trump visited the 13-year-old private aircraft parked at Palm Beach International Airport. President Trump is touring a new Boeing plane to checkout the new hardware/technology," said Steven Cheung, the White House communications director. This highlights the project's failure to deliver a new Air Force One on time as promised. Air Force One is a modified Boeing 747. Two exist and the president flies on both of the more than 30-year-old planes. Boeing Inc. has the contract to produce updated versions, but delivery has been delayed while the aircraft maker has lost billions of dollars on the project. Delivery initially was set for 2024, but has been pushed to some time in 2027 for the first plane and in 2028 Trump's final year in office for
Boeing partners with HPCL for sustainable aviation fuel ecosystem
US-based aircraft maker Boeing on Friday said it has partnered with state-owned oil marketing firm HPCL for a sustainable aviation fuel ecosystem in the country. As part of this partnership, the two companies will explore opportunities to scale SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) production in the domestic market, support the certification of domestically produced SAF, and advocate for policies to develop a robust SAF ecosystem in the country, Boeing said in a statement. According to global airlines body International Air Transport Association (IATA), India has the potential to be a key producer of SAF by utilising its ethanol supplies and availability of lipids feedstocks like non-edible industrial oils. IATA represents around 340 airlines, including Indian carriers that account for more than 80 per cent of the global air traffic. With decarbonisation in focus, efforts are being made to reduce emissions and over the years, Indian carriers have operated some flights with a blend of SAF

Boeing posts $3.8 bn loss in Q4, leading total loss to $35 bn since 2019
Boeing posted a fourth-quarter loss of USD 3.8 billion on Tuesday as a machinists strike and other problems continued to plague the troubled aircraft manufacturer. Boeing has lost more than USD 35 billion since 2019 following the crashes of two then-new Max jets that killed 346 people. The numbers Boeing released are in line with what the company pre-reported last week, including nearly USD 3 billion worth of charges in the period due to the labour stoppage, job cuts and problems with a number of government programmes. Boeing's loss per share was USD 5.46 per share, well above the USD 3.08 loss that Wall Street analysts expected, according to the data firm FactSet. The fourth quarter caps a rough year for Boeing. A strike by the machinists who assemble the best-selling 737 Max, along with the 777 jet and the 767 cargo plane at factories in Renton and Everett, Washington, halted production at those facilities and hampered Boeing's delivery capability. The walkout ended after more t

Boeing's aircraft deliveries, orders in 2024 reflect company's rough year
Boeing delivered less than half the number of commercial aircraft to customers than its European rival in 2024 as the American aerospace giant's output suffered under intensified government scrutiny and a factory workers' strike, according to data released Tuesday. Boeing said it supplied 348 jetliners during the year. That was more than a third fewer than the 528 the company finished for airlines and leasing outfits in 2023 and less than half the number of jetliners that Airbus delivered last year. Deliveries are an important source of cash for plane manufacturers since buyers typically pay a large portion of the purchase price when their orders are fulfilled. More than three-quarters of the planes that Boeing furnished were 737 Max jets, a stark reminder of how integral its best-selling airline model has been to the company's fortunes and challenges. Boeing has lost money since 2019 following the crashes of two then-new Max jets that killed 346 people. The company expected to ram
