On Wednesday, the Chancellery of the President confirmed the “Fakt” reports regarding a defect in the Boeing 737 in which Andrzej Duda was traveling. The on-board monitor system for the crew suffered a minor failure. According to procedures, the plane returned to Poland, but might not take passengers on board.
Presidential plane crash. The spare machine landed in Brussels
The second plane was used for the return flight and – in accordance with HEAD’s instructions – flew to the United States as a spare. The change of the machine forced the presidential delegation to modify its plans.
As reported by “Fakt”, the second plane had a shorter range, so it was necessary to stop to refuel in the Portuguese Azores. “The technical stop lasted regarding an hour. The delegation did not leave the machine during this time. After replenishing fuel supplies, Boeing continued its journey,” we read.
After 1 p.m. the plane landed in Brussels. The meeting started at 3 p.m
