NEW DELHI — The Canadian Armed Forces has sent a plane to pick up Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is stranded in India after the plane he took to the G20 leaders' summit was grounded due to technical issues.
The Prime Minister's Office said the Canadian delegation is working to leave New Delhi by Tuesday afternoon, local time, at the earliest. Press secretary Mohammad Hussain said the situation remains fluid.
As planes carrying delegations from South Korea and Russia took to the skies, the Canadian delegation was told to return to the hotel. Trudeau has remained there, holding private meetings. It is not fuel efficient and has a very limited range, requiring most overseas trips to have multiple stops for refuelling.
In 2019, the plane sustained"significant" structural damage at its home at CFB Trenton when it rolled into the wall of a hangar. Designated as the CC-330 Husky, the fleet of new and used aircraft will include one for transporting high-level officials such as the prime minister. One of the aircraft was delivered to Ottawa last month, but is not yet ready to use.
