Boeing has lost roughly $2 billion in Air Force One deal
In 2018, Boeing signed a contract with the federal government to build a pair of aircraft that would serve as Air Force One.Yet as Business Insider reported on Friday, that deal has turned into a financial disaster for the aerospace giant. Company has lost roughly $2 billion since taking on Air Force One project.
Boeing's third-quarter earnings report was released last week, and it showed that the company lost $482 million on construction of the two 747-200B jumbo jets.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrumpNo one expected Bidenomics! The company attributed the losses to higher-than-estimated manufacturing costs, engineering changes, labor instability, and negotiations with suppliers. And they had a fixed contract under Trump. The company has pushed the delivery date of the two jets back by another two years to 2026.
Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order! 8:52 AM · Dec 6, 2016
