The Department of National Defence said the issue with the CC-144 Challenger aircraft was discovered during an inspection this week before Trudeau's scheduled departure.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his delegation were stranded in Delhi after their official aircraft developed a snag, causing them to be delayed nearly two days. This comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized Trudeau for not taking action against Khalistani elements in Canada. Trudeau's aircraft, the CC-150 Polaris 15001, is nearly 40 years old.

The CC-150 Polaris plane, part of a fleet that was commissioned in the early 1990s, has been plagued with problems in recent years and is set to be replaced later this fall.
