Following a technical issue with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s flight, a replacement aircraft is set to arrive in India on Monday night to fly the PM and his delegation back to their country.
On Sunday night, the Canadian Prime Minister’s special aircraft suffered a technical glitch, shortly before his departure from New Delhi after the G20 Summit.
An official said that a team of engineers in coordination with Canadian aircraft staff is trying to resolve the technical glitch. Meanwhile, PM staff has called a second aircraft that is scheduled to land at Delhi airport by 11 pm.
However, it is still unclear if the entire delegation will leave on the alternate plane or if separate arrangements will be made.
“Upon our departure for the airport, we were made aware by the Canadian Armed Forces that CFC001 was experiencing technical issues,” the Prime Minister’s office confirmed in a statement.
