The White House is about to replace the planes used to transport the president
A new plane is almost ready to replace the Air Force One used for more than three decades during the president's trips
A pair of messages shared on social media by two White House officials raised the possibility that the planes used to transport the president during his work trips will soon be replaced by at least one more modern aircraft to which cutting-edge technology is integrated with the aim of guaranteeing the safety of those on board.

"The last trip. Well done, good and faithful servant," wrote the official with Chinese roots linked to President Donald Trump's team of collaborators since July 2016.
Dan Scavino, White House deputy chief of staff, also took to social media to say goodbye to the presidential plane that took him and a group of people to various corners of the world for more than five years.
“I have had the fortune of flying around the world in this iconic plane for five and a half years, of the 35 that it has been at the service of the presidents of the United States… THANK YOU…”, he wrote as an introduction to a video in which he tours some parts of the aircraft while remaining motionless on one side of the runway.
The objective of the administration headed by Trump is that, during the summer, the pair of Air Force Ones that have been flying since 1992, give way to an aircraft gifted by the Qatari Royal family to the American president in May of last year.
Another pair of airplanes in the same category are still in the assembly stage carried out by the Boeing company with the commitment to have them ready in almost two years, this in the best of scenarios.
A statement recently issued by the Air Force mentions that the Qatari plane officially completed the modifications planned to soon make its first flight with the head of the nation on board.
“Ultimately, the Bridge aircraft meets a critical short-term need, ensuring that the Air Force continues to execute its foolproof mission for the commander in chief, while laying a solid foundation for the future,” part of the letter states.
