Key Takeaways:

  • Donald Trump's running mate, Vance, will campaign using a 22-year-old Boeing 737-800 (N917XA) that previously served with IAERO Airlines.
  • The plane is expected to have a standard two-class configuration, not a luxury interior, and FlightAware unusually showed it was scheduled for a flight to Havana from Miami.

Donald Trump didn’t just announce his running mate on Monday, he rolled out his 2IC’s new ride. According to various reports, Vance will hit the campaign trail on a 22-year-old Boeing 737-800 (N917XA) that was most recently in service with IAERO Airlines, which shut down in April of this year. It has toiled for a variety of airlines and charters over the years and most likely has a two-class configuration rather than the luxury interior of Trump’s 757. What’s unusual is that FlightAware says that tail number was scheduled to be headed to Havana, Cuba, from Miami first thing this morning.
