Technical Glitch Strands German Minister Robert Habeck in Lisbon

A defect in the government's new Airbus A350 has delayed Habeck's return, causing him to miss key political events in Berlin.

Robert Habeck, Germany's Vice Chancellor and Minister of Economic Affairs, was unable to return to Berlin from Lisbon due to a technical defect in the government aircraft.
The Airbus A350, named 'Kurt Schumacher,' experienced a malfunction in the ignition circuit of an engine, preventing it from taking off.
Habeck was attending the Web Summit in Lisbon with a delegation of female entrepreneurs from the startup sector.
The delay means Habeck will miss the first cabinet meeting after the collapse of the coalition and potentially the government statement by Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
This incident highlights ongoing issues with the German government's fleet, despite recent upgrades to replace older, problematic aircraft models.
