Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's aircraft is experiencing a technical issue that is forcing the entire Canadian delegation to stay in India, where this year’s G20 summit took place.

Trudeau, his delegation and media travelling with the prime minister were set to depart on Sunday night, local time. However, shortly before leaving, the Canadian Armed Forces discovered a mechanical issue that could not be fixed overnight.

“Upon our departure for the airport, we were made aware by the Canadian Armed Forces that CFC001 was experiencing technical issues,” the prime minister’s office said in a statement.

“These issues are not fixable overnight, our delegation will be staying in India until alternate arrangements are made.”

The prime minister arrived in India on Friday for the G20 summit.

It’s unclear how the delegation, including the prime minister, will get home or when.

This isn’t the first time the Airbus has caused problems for Trudeau and his delegation.
