Boeing has landed a $16.1 million contract to provide engineering services for a U.S. Air Force project to update the interior of the C-32 military passenger transportation aircraft.
The company will refresh C-32’s interior appearance to resemble the VC-25A aircraft’s presidential section and replace the double-seat configuration with a triple-seat configuration aft of Door 3, the Defense Department said Tuesday.
The service branch obligated the full contract amount from its fiscal 2018 procurement funds at time of award.
C-32 is a specially configured version of the Boeing 757-200 commercial intercontinental airliner and designed transport the U.S. vice president and first lady as well as members of the cabinet and Congress.
The Pentagon expects the interior refresh effort to finish by Aug. 8, 2019.
