New Delhi: The official aircraft carrying Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for a visit abroad broke down forcing the deployment of a standby plane. This is the second time something like this has happened since September last year.
While in New Delhi to attend the G20 leaders’ summit, Trudeau had to stay back in the capital for an extra day-and-a-half due to trouble with the plane. This time, however, he returned to Ottawa from a family vacation at a luxury resort in Jamaica after a technician managed to repair the original plane on which he had travelled, according to news agencies.
Trudeau left for the resort on December 26 and returned on Thursday. He was accompanied by family members including Sophie Gregoire, from whom he separated in 2023.
The outlet CBC News reported on Friday that the Department of National Defence had to send a second plane to Jamaica as the “first aircraft that transported the Prime Minister’s party became unserviceable after arrival.”
