Trudeau's Plane Breaks Down Again During Caribbean Visit
Second such incident in four months, but Prime Minister adheres to original travel schedule despite glitch.
- Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's official aircraft broke down during his recent visit to Jamaica, marking the second such incident in four months.
- The Canadian Armed Forces had to send a second plane with a repair team to address the issue.
- Despite the technical glitch, Trudeau managed to adhere to his original travel schedule, returning on January 4 without further delays.
- Both planes involved in this incident were identified as CC-144 Challenger aircraft, relatively recent acquisitions by the Canadian Armed Forces.
- This follows a pattern of mishaps in Trudeau's recent travel history, including a delay during his departure from India during the G20 Summit in September last year and a collision between a bus carrying journalists and an aircraft chartered by Trudeau's Liberal party in 2019.
