For the second time in four months, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plane has broken down during a trip to Jamaica.

The Canadian Armed Forces said Friday they had to send a second plane with a repair team to deal with the problem.

Mr. Trudeau was on the Caribbean island for a family vacation.

Last September, Mr Trudeau’s departure from India was delayed by two days due to mechanical failure.

The prime minister, who must travel by military plane for security reasons, flew to Jamaica on December 26.

The problem was discovered on January 2, CBC News reports.

A day later, the second plane carried a maintenance team to repair the first, a spokeswoman for Canada’s defense department told the television station.

He returned on January 4 as originally 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 after a G20 summit was delayed after his plane suffered mechanical trouble.

During his 2019 election campaign, a bus carrying journalists collided with the wing of a plane chartered by Mr Trudeau’s Liberal Party.

Later that year, he was forced to use a spare plane to attend a NATO summit in London after the first had been destroyed in a hangar accident.

But there was also a problem with the spare plane and the prime minister had to use a third one to return home.
