India had offered services of aircraft ‘Air India One’ to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after his special aircraft developed a technical glitch shortly before his departure from New Delhi after the G20 Summit, said sources.
As per ANI report, The Canadian side, however, declined the offer and chose to wait for the backup aircraft, they added.
Canadian PM Trudeau and his delegation departed from the national capital on Tuesday afternoon after being stranded here for two days.
Trudeau, who arrived in India for the G20 Summit on Friday, had to extend his stay in the national capital after a technical snag on his Airbus plane on Sunday night.
This prompted the Canadian side to call for an alternate aircraft to take PM Trudeau and his delegate back to their country.
The alternate aircraft which was expected to arrive in New Delhi on Monday night also had an unscheduled diversion to London, further delaying the Canadian Prime Minister’s departure from India.
