Key Background<\/h2>\n

The safety incident involving the presidential helicopter over Washington D.C. comes about a year and a half after an Army Black Hawk helicopter collided with a regional jet operated by American Airlines near the Reagan Airport, resulting in the deaths of 67 people. The crash was the deadliest U.S. air disaster since November 2001. The incident followed several near misses and safety incidents near the Reagan Airport in the preceding years. As a result of the crash and findings from subsequent investigations, the FAA has enacted restrictions on helicopter flight in certain areas around the D.C. Airport. Reuters also noted air traffic control is usually given three minutes\u2019 advance notice before Marine One takes off from near the White House to ensure a halt in traffic around the airport.<\/p>\n

Last month, the Boeing VIP jet controversially gifted by Qatar made its debut as the new Air Force One. Trump flew on board the plane to attend a NATO summit in Ankara. However, amid a resumption of hostilities between the U.S. and Iran, Trump was forced to fly out of Turkey into RAF Mildenhall, a U.S. Air Force base in Suffolk, England, on board the old Air Force One plane. The president insisted that this was done to allow U.S. service members stationed at the base \u201ca chance to tour the Aircraft,\u201d however, reports suggested that the swap<\/u> was made following a request from the Secret Service. This raised concerns about the new plane’s safety features and missile defense capabilities compared to the older presidential jets. Despite his initial denials, Trump told reporters last month that the Qatar-gifted plane will undergo another set of upgrades and to get its security capabilities \u201cmaxed out.\u201d The president didn\u2019t specify what these new \u201cmaxed out\u201d upgrades will cover, and it’s unclear whether the one-month period is adequate to bring the new presidential plane\u2019s security systems up to par with the older jets.<\/p>\n
