Justin Trudeau Still In India, Backup Plane En Route After Jet Trouble

A backup plane and spare parts are en route to India for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is stranded along with his country's delegation after the plane they arrived on broke down.

Trudeau will either fly home on the backup plane or wait for the original plane to be repaired, said a government official, speaking to Bloomberg on condition they weren't named. The official declined to give details about what exactly needs replacing.

"The Canadian Armed Forces continue their best efforts to get the Canadian delegation home," said a statement from Trudeau's office. "Their latest update shows an earliest possible departure of Tuesday late afternoon. The situation remains fluid."
