Trudeau stuck in India after Canada’s ‘Flying Taj Mahal’ suffers glitch! A look at this 34-year-old aircraft’s history of glitches

The Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is still stuck in India post the G20 Summit. He was supposed to leave the country on Sunday. However, he had to extend his stay as his official aircraft developed a snag.

This is not the first time that the 34-year-old aircraft, nicknamed ‘Flying Taj Mahal’, suffered a glitch in its time carrying Trudeau across countries.

Why is it called the aircraft ‘Flying Taj Mahal’?

The CC 150 Polaris aircraft, which is an Airbus A310-300, was nicknamed the ‘Flying Taj Mahal’ in the early 1990s by Canadian’s then opposition leader Jean Chrétien, who later became the country’s Prime Minister.
