Seychelles: Government plane strands in holiday paradise
A member of the AfD discovers a German military jet by chance on an island paradise. The Defense Ministry explains why the plane ended up stranded there.
A German military plane, a Bombardier Global 5000, made an unscheduled landing on the Seychelles due to technical issues while on a training flight from Egypt to Réunion Island. The plane, operated by the Bundeswehr-Flugbereitschaft, was carrying only its crew, who are reported to be safe and well. The training flight was part of the crew's necessary training to practice procedures such as flying over uncontrolled airspace and operating in special climatic conditions.
The plane's technical problem is currently being addressed. The incident drew attention after a photo of the plane was posted on social media by AfD MP Malte Kaufmann, who speculated that Chancellor or a minister might be on board.
