Joe Biden campaign will have no campaign plane, report says - Business Insider Close iconTwo crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.
AP. In the campaign season leading up to the 2016 presidential election, then-candidate Trump didn't need a campaign plane because he already had his own.
It was leased from Eastern Airlines - a former charter operator specializing in the Boeing 737 - but had "Trump Pence" and the campaign slogan emblazoned on the fuselage with an American flag on the tail in true campaign plane fashion.
Former President Barack Obama also used a Boeing 757 in his campaign against Senator John McCain in the 2008 election.
The McCain campaign also used JetBlue aircraft during the campaign, including a Brazilian-made Embraer E190.
The last time Biden had a campaign plane was in 2008 when he was running for vice president, along with Obama, and often traveled onboard the campaign's Boeing 757 jet with the campaign slogan emblazoned on the side and the rising sun logo on the tail.
It's now appearing likely Biden won't soon see his name emblazoned across the side of an airliner as his campaign reportedly turns down the use of a plane for this go-round.
