Even Justin Trudeau's got travel woes after his plane broke down in India at the G20 summit

• Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's plane broke down as he was set to fly out of New Delhi.
• Trudeau was attending the G20 summit, and was due to return home on Sunday.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau got stuck in New Delhi after his plane broke down at the airport.

Trudeau and his delegation arrived in India on Friday to attend the G20 summit. He was due to fly home on Sunday.

But the delegation was told the plane was "experiencing technical difficulties," Trudeau's office told Insider.

"Upon our departure for the airport, we were made aware by the Canadian Armed Forces that CFC001 was experiencing technical issues," said a statement from Trudeau's office.

"These issues are not fixable overnight, our delegation will be staying in India until alternative arrangements are made," the statement added.

According to the outlet, Trudeau flew to India on an Airbus aircraft, which CTV reported ran into technical issues on two other occasions in 2016 and 2019.

Trudeau's attendance at the G20 summit comes as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's criticized Sikh protests being allowed in Canada.

Modi's office released a statement during the summit admonishing the protests, saying they were "promoting secessionism and inciting violence against Indian diplomats, damaging diplomatic premises and threatening the Indian community in Canada."
