Donald Trump’s Private Fleet in 2025: A Look at the Aircraft He Owns
Even in 2025, Donald Trump’s presence in the skies is unmistakable. Known for his love of luxury, branding, and grand entrances, Trump’s aircraft have long played a key role in both his business ventures and political campaigns. While his aviation holdings have evolved over the years, the former president still owns a small yet impressive fleet of private aircraft through The Trump Organization.
Trump Force One: The Boeing 757-200
The centerpiece of Trump’s fleet is his well-known Boeing 757-200, bearing the registration N757AF. Often nicknamed “Trump Force One,” this aircraft is arguably one of the most iconic privately owned jets in the world. It became widely recognized during the 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns, and has continued to serve Trump in his public appearances and political rallies through 2025.
The 757 was originally built in the early 1990s and previously served commercial airlines before being acquired by Trump. The aircraft underwent a full refurbishment in 2022, including a complete overhaul of its engines, cockpit systems, and a fresh paint job featuring the signature red, white, and blue livery with bold TRUMP lettering.
Inside, the aircraft is customized to reflect Trump’s luxurious taste—featuring leather seats, gold-plated seatbelt buckles, private bedrooms, and a lavish entertainment system. While it’s no longer one of the newest jets in the sky, its size, style, and range make it ideal for long-distance travel, campaign tours, and high-profile arrivals.
Sikorsky S-76 Helicopters
In addition to the 757, Trump also owns three Sikorsky S-76 helicopters, well-known for their use among business executives and VIPs. These helicopters provide Trump and his associates with quick regional mobility, especially for travel between properties such as Trump Tower, Bedminster Golf Club, and other Trump-branded resorts.
The helicopters are painted in the familiar black and gold color scheme, maintaining the visual consistency that defines Trump’s personal and business branding. They are frequently spotted at rallies, golf tournaments, and high-profile appearances.
The Former Citation X: Sold in 2024
Until 2024, Trump’s aviation assets also included a Cessna Citation X, registered N725DT. Known for its speed and efficiency, the Citation X was one of the fastest business jets in the world, capable of cruising at nearly Mach 0.92. It was used for faster, shorter trips that didn’t require the space or fuel consumption of the larger 757.
However, the Citation X was sold in May 2024 to MM Fleet Holdings LLC, a company associated with Texas-based real estate developer Mehrdad Moayedi. The sale was seen as a strategic move, possibly reflecting a shift in Trump’s travel needs or a streamlining of his transportation assets ahead of renewed political ambitions.
Purpose and Symbolism
While Trump’s fleet has shrunk slightly in recent years, the aircraft he still owns serve a critical purpose. They’re not just modes of transport—they’re tools for branding, campaigning, and public influence. The image of Trump descending the stairs of his 757 or landing by helicopter at a rally has become a familiar sight to supporters and critics alike.
Whether used for personal travel, political events, or business promotion, Trump’s aircraft remain a central piece of his larger-than-life image.
