President Duda is ending his visit to the United States and today he is to fly to Belgium to meet NATO head Jens Stoltenberg. It is already known that he will not be able to use the government Boeing 737, which has broken down.
The most important thing is the safety of the Polish delegation
As officials responsible for logistics explain in “Fakt”, it is not dangerous, but the procedures stipulate that the plane will return to Poland without passengers. This is required by the safety of both the president and the delegation accompanying him.

The president may use a second, spare plane, which is to be provided soon. According to the HEAD procedure, he is also located in the United States. It is a larger machine that can take more passengers, but also has a shorter range. The Polish delegation will therefore have to make a stopover to refuel. This will probably happen in the Azores. A second plane will also fly to Brussels, which will also act as an emergency plane.
Meeting of the president with the Secretary General of NATO
President Duda is scheduled to meet with the Secretary General of NATO at 15 Brussels time. This ends his visit to the US on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Poland’s accession to NATO, to which the Polish president and prime minister were invited by US President Joe Biden.
