Plane issues force German foreign minister to scrap Pacific trip.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock had to cancel her trip to Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji due to problems with her government plane.
The aging Airbus A340 experienced two technical malfunctions with its landing flaps, forcing it to turn back during takeoff in Abu Dhabi.
This latest incident adds to a series of embarrassments caused by technical issues with Germany's government planes.
The problematic A340 and its sister aircraft will now be retired early, with Germany having already ordered replacements.
Baerbock expressed frustration at the cancellation, emphasizing the importance of visiting the Indo-Pacific region.
