Mexico’s presidential plane, which has gone unused since President López Obrador took office in 2018, will be used to transport Mexican athletes to the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, this summer.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner has been on the market for three years and a buyer has yet to be found.
It was flown to Victorville, California, this morning to undergo maintenance.
Finance Minister Arturo Herrera said he expects the plane to return at the end of June in time to take athletes to the Games, which begin on July 23.
Health authorities modify national vaccination schedule Government blames delay in delivery of Pfizer vaccines earlier this year

Citing the delay in the delivery of Pfizer vaccines earlier this year, the federal government has modified its Covid-19 vaccination schedule, pushing back by one month the start date of the different stages of the national vaccination plan.
“The schedule of stages 2 to 5 has been modified and may undergo future modifications as it depends on the delivery of the pharmaceuticals,” the government said.
Stage 2 of the vaccination plan the inoculation of people aged 60 and over and non-frontline health workers will extend into May, according to the modified schedule. That presumably means that President López Obrador’s pledge to immunize all seniors with at least one vaccine dose by the end of April will not be fulfilled.
