What exactly happened at the Florida airport involving Trump’s plane?
Former US President Donald Trump’s private plane, a Boeing 757 known as “Trump Force One,” was involved in a minor collision with another corporate jet at West Palm Beach International Airport, Florida. The incident took place early Sunday morning at 1:20 am, as confirmed by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The corporate jet was parked and unoccupied at the time of the accident, and fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Was Trump on board during the collision?

His private jet, frequently featured in his campaigns, is often likened to Air Force One, the aircraft used by the sitting US President.
Details about Trump’s Boeing 757
Trump’s Boeing 757, purchased in 2010 for $100 million, is heavily customized with luxurious features including gold plating, private guestrooms, three bathrooms, dining and conference areas, and extensive entertainment systems. Built in 1991, the 757 model has since been discontinued. In January, Trump called for Boeing to resume production of the 757, praising it as the best-handling plane ever made from a pilot’s perspective.
The FAA has launched an investigation to determine the cause and details of the collision. As the investigation progresses, more information will likely emerge about the circumstances surrounding the incident and whether any operational protocols were breached.
