German Chancellor to travel to Colombia on commercial flight

Berlin, November 8 (Prensa Latina) German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul will travel to Colombia on a commercial flight after a malfunction on his official plane, the ARD newspaper reported, citing Der Spiegel magazine.

The source confirmed that the Airbus A350 has a technical problem, forcing the minister and his delegation to use a commercial airline.

This issue has led to the cancellation of official trips by German ministers on numerous occasions.

According to the source, the destination is the city of Santa Marta, where the summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) will be held.

This incident is part of Germany’s efforts to strengthen ties with the region.

Analysts noted that this recurring situation exposes the operational difficulties faced by the German government and suggests it reflects underlying problems in the state infrastructure.

It has been learned that the official aircraft, plagued by constant malfunctions, will eventually be dismantled for parts in order to put an end to the repeated setbacks affecting the European country’s diplomatic agenda.
