Trump returns to D.C. on Air Force One shortly after takeoff for Davos due to electrical issue
- On Jan. 20, 2026, President Donald Trump was aboard Air Force One when it returned to Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, after crew identified a minor electrical issue, White House officials said.
- The two planes currently used as Air Force One have been flying for nearly four decades, while Boeing's replacement program has faced delays and the gifted Boeing 747-8 is being retrofitted.
- About half an hour into the flight reporters were told the plane would be turning around, a reporter said the press cabin lights briefly went out, and no injuries were reported.
- White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president will board another aircraft and continue to Switzerland, though his Davos address about 8:30 a.m. ET Wednesday could be delayed.
- Air Force One includes communications systems allowing presidential command and is heavily modified with survivability capabilities like radiation shielding and antimissile technology.
