Mexican president to raffle off presidential jet

Published January 30, 2020 2:43am ET



Mexico’s president is planning to raffle off the country’s equivalent to Air Force One, and tickets are going for about $25.

Since winning the presidency in 2018, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has attempted to sell the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner but has been unable to because of the hefty sticker price of about $130 million. The government has already spent $1.5 million to keep it parked and maintained, according to the Wall Street Journal.
