The Air Force pushed back the estimated delivery date for the first of two new Air Force One jets by another year to mid-2028, giving Boeing Co. even less wiggle room to meet President Donald Trump’s demand to get plane by the end of his term.

The Air Force offered the latest estimate in a statement that said the timeline “is the result of continuing discussions between Boeing and the Air Force.” Boeing had earlier proposed delivering the plane in 2027, three years later than an originally contracted date of December 2024.
