New Delhi, Sep 12 : A substitute plane dispatched from Canada to fly Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has been stranded in New Delhi since September 10 due to a technical snag in his aircraft, has been diverted to London, causing further delays in his departure, reports said.

Trudeau was in New Delhi to attended the G20 Leaders’ Summit on September 9-10.  The reports said that no explanation was given for the unexpected rerouting of the CC-150 Polaris aircraft dispatched by the Royal Canadian Air Force to New Delhi, despite its intended route via Rome.

In case the Airbus plane used by Trudeau complies with air safety regulations, he may choose to return aboard it.
