Boeing's VC-25B Program Hit by Key Delays and Risks

A new government report has shed light on the key issues delaying the development of Boeing's VC-25B, a program aimed at creating the next generation of Air Force One. The report, released in August 2026, highlights several risks that are contributing to the ongoing delays.

According to the report, the Air Force is taking steps to keep the current VC-25A fleet viable despite the delays. However, this comes as the Trump administration has shifted to flying on a recently renovated Boeing 747.

The report does not specify the exact reasons for the delays, but it points out that several factors are at play. These include 'key risks' that are driving the delays and ongoing concerns about the program's overall viability.
