Canada PM Justin Trudeau's official plane breaks down, again – BBC.com

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's aircraft has broken down during a trip to Jamaica, in his second travel incident in four months.
The Canadian Armed Forces said on Friday that they were forced to send a second plane with a repair team to address the issue.
Mr Trudeau was on the Caribbean island for a family holiday.
Last September, Mr Trudeau's departure from India was delayed by two days because of a mechanical glitch.
The PM, who is required to travel on a military plane for security reasons, flew to Jamaica on 26 December.
The problem was discovered on 2 January, CBC news reports.
A day later, the second plane carried a maintenance team to repair the first, a spokeswoman for Canada's defence department told the broadcaster.
He returned on 4 January as originally scheduled.
Both planes were CC-144 Challenger aircraft, relatively new acquisitions by the Canadian Armed Forces.
Mr Trudeau has suffered a string of travel mishaps in recent years.
In September, his departure from Delhi following a G20 Summit was embarrassingly delayed after his plane encountered an unspecified mechanical problem.
During his re-election campaign in 2019, a bus carrying journalists collided with the wing of an aircraft chartered by Mr Trudeau's Liberal party.
Later that year, he was forced to use a backup plane to attend a Nato summit in London after the original had been damaged in a hangar accident.
But a problem was discovered with the backup aircraft and the prime minister had to use a third one to return home.
