Transport authorities have launched an investigation into Donald Trump's customized Boeing 737-8 MAX, valued at $108 million. The aircraft, which features a luxury boudoir, shower-sauna, bar, and kitchen, was transferred from Daedalus Aviation to CSI Aviation following Trump's dismissal of Kristi Noem as governor of South Dakota. The circumstances surrounding this transfer remain unclear, especially as Salus Worldwide Solutions, the parent company of Daedalus, is under scrutiny for its dealings with Noem and her associate Corey Lewandowski. Recently, the DHS ordered the jet to be flown from Louisiana to Maryland; however, CSI Aviation failed to file the necessary documentation to enter restricted airspace over Washington, D.C. This oversight was not discovered until the aircraft was already airborne, prompting frustration among DHS staff, who were left scrambling to address the situation. The incident has now been referred to the Transportation Security Administration for further investigation, adding another layer to the ongoing scrutiny of Trump's aviation dealings.
