Claim

The aircraft is about 14 years old and was previously a luxury plane used by Qatar's royal family.

“यह विमान लगभग 14 वर्ष पुराना है और यह पहले एक लग्जरी विमान हुआ करता था जिसे क़तर का शाही परिवार इस्तेमाल करता था।”

Rationale

The aircraft is the Boeing 747-8 BBJ donated by Qatar and flown as interim Air Force One (first Trump flight July 1, 2026). It was delivered to the Qatar Amiri Flight in April 2012, making it about 14 years old as of the July 2026 broadcast, and it was indeed a VIP luxury jet used by Qatar's royal family (House of Thani) before being gifted to the US. Both elements of the claim — the ~14-year age and the prior Qatari royal luxury use — are accurate.
