Canadian PM Justin Trudeau’s departure may get delayed further

Trudeau was to leave from Delhi on Sunday night but got stuck because his aircraft developed a major technical snag
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s departure from New Delhi may be delayed further as a replacement aircraft expected to arrive in the Indian capital last night, may now arrive later due to its unscheduled diversion.
Trudeau was supposed to leave India with his team after the G20 Summit on Sunday night.
Royal Canadian Air Force’s CC-150 Polaris dispatched to New Delhi was diverted from London though it was supposed to be routed through Rome. However, no reason was provided for the diversion. The report said CC-150 Polaris may only leave London this morning. A fallback measure, a technician with a replacement part has also been sent to Delhi.
Trudeau may return on the Airbus plane if it meets air safety regulations. Another aircraft will be sent to collect him and his entourage if neither the original plane nor the replacement is available.
The aircraft Trudeau uses is 36 years old and has caused problems earlier too. In October 2016, it returned to Ottawa half an hour after taking off for Belgium. That plane was out of service for 16 months and a backup was grounded in London in December 2019 when Trudeau was there for a NATO summit.
Canadian PM landed in New Delhi on Friday for the G20 Summit and he was received by Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
The Canadian Armed Forces had sent a plane to pick up Trudeau after the plane he took to Delhi was grounded due to technical issues.
