Trump’s helicopter made an emergency landing at Luton due to a hydraulic issue, causing a brief 20-minute delay.
US President Donald Trump’s journey to Stansted Airport was interrupted when his helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing at Luton Airport.
The White House confirmed that the decision was prompted by a minor hydraulic issue. After ensuring safety and a quick reassessment, Trump and the First Lady were transferred to a backup helicopter, continuing their journey with only a 20-minute delay.
Marine One, the iconic helicopter used to transport the US President, is specially designed with missile defence and advanced radar-jamming systems, making it a highly secure mode of transport.
