VC-25B is planned to be in service until at least 2054. In 2019 the US Defence Department estimated the cost of VC-25B to be $5.2 Billion. This is the first time the livery colour theme has changed since Air Force One was first introduced in 1962. The first phase of aircraft modification involves cutting out large skin and structure areas in both the forward and aft lower lobes of the aircraft and then installing two newly manufactured superpanels. The superpanels contain structural upgrades and cutouts for the VC-25B lower lobe doors including internal airstairs for mission requirements. The VC-25B modifications to the 747-8 aircraft will include electrical power upgrades, a mission communication system, a medical facility, executive interior, and autonomous ground operations capabilities.

Registration-marked packaging is personalized to each aircraft to enhance its collectable value. Each model is released only once and never reissued.
