Details
Belgian King Philippe and Queen Mathilde visited Chile - it was the first visit to the South American country in 65 years. But this visit had technical problems from the very beginning. Eventually, the Belgian monarchs with great honors, along with ministers, businessmen, scientists, and representatives of the Belgian media, could not return earlier due to problems with the plane.
They were supposed to leave the country at 5:00 PM (local time) on Thursday, June 26. However, they may have to wait a few more days.
The reason is that their plane was damaged. The plane had a problem with the runway when it was taxiing onto the runway for takeoff,
"It seems that the rod that towed the plane broke down, and a tire on the plane's landing gear was damaged," explained the Belgian media RTL.
On Saturday morning local time, the plane was finally able to return to Belgium, Het Laatste Nieuws reports.
