President Trump is looking to order a ritzy private plane with private suites and winding staircases after giving up hope that Boeing could hand over a revamped Air Force One.<\/p>\n

The commander in chief has his sights set on a Boeing jet decked out with plush carpeting in every room and leather couches and more that was once owned by the Qatari government, according to pictures obtained by the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

The interior of the opulent plane was done by famed French interior design firm Alberto Pinto Cabinet \u2014 and boasts gold-colored walls and gold furnishings, reminiscent of Trump\u2019s lavish home in Trump Tower, the photos show.<\/p>\n

Images of the massive plane show the sleek and brightly-lit interior, where every seat is first-class worthy and the walls are adorned with paintings.<\/p>\n

It will be L3Harris\u2019 job to fit it with unspecified systems fit for a presidential jet, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.<\/p>\n

The plane \u2014 which once listed for $400 million \u2014 will serve as an interim jet while Trump waits on Boeing to complete work on the existing, but aging, presidential fleet.<\/p>\n

Trump wants to have the plane in his possession by early fall and has been regularly checking in with the company for updates, sources told The Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n

Trump reportedly turned toward the Florida-based contractor after Boeing told the administration it wouldn\u2019t be able to replace the president\u2019s Air Force One fleet until after he left the presidency.<\/p>\n

Boeing has been working on the pair of aging planes since 2017, when Trump, in his first term, had awarded the scrutinized company a $3.9 billion contract to replace the planes, which are known by the military as VC-25A aircraft and as Air Force One when the president is on board.<\/p>\n

The fleet has been around since the George H.W. Bush administration and requires heavy maintenance, but Boeing has reportedly fallen too far behind on the $3.9 billion project that it now projects a completion date of 2035.<\/p>\n

The project was initially expected to be completed last year, but has been bogged down by a series of supplier, engineering and manufacturing setbacks \u2014 and is now running billions of dollars over budget.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s administration even considered terminating the contract before he took office in January, with Elon Musk reportedly pressing Boeing officials before detailed information \u2014 which \u201cmade some executives at Boeing uncomfortable,\u201d sources told the Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
