ReutersCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's plane crashed during a trip to Jamaica, his second travel incident in four months.
The Canadian Armed Forces said Friday it was forced to send a second plane with a repair team to fix the problem.
Mr. Trudeau was on the Caribbean island for a family vacation.
Last September, Mr. Trudeau's departure from India was delayed two days due to mechanical problem.
The Prime Minister, who must travel on a military plane for security reasons, flew to Jamaica on December 26.
The problem was discovered on January 2, reports CBC News.
A day later, the second plane carried a maintenance team to repair the first, a spokesperson for the Canadian Defense Ministry told the channel.
He returned on January 4 as initially planned.
Both planes were CC-144 Challenger aircraft, relatively new acquisitions by the Canadian Armed Forces.
Mr. Trudeau has suffered a series of travel mishaps in recent years.
In September, his departure from Delhi following a G20 summit was inconveniently delayed after his plane encountered an unspecified mechanical problem.
During his 2019 re-election campaign, a bus carrying journalists collided with the wing of an airplane chartered by Mr. Trudeau’s Liberal Party.
Later that year he was forced to use a backup plane to attend a NATO summit in London after the original was damaged in a hangar accident.
But a problem was discovered with the rescue plane and the prime minister had to use a third to get home.
