[Independent] Former President Donald Trump’s plane was diverted while heading to a rally in Montana on Friday.
The Associated Press reported that the plane was diverted from Bozeman, Montana due to a mechanical issue but landed safely at Billings Logan International Airport. A staff member at the Billings airport confirmed the incident.
The former president was going to a rally in Bozeman, about 140 miles west of Billings, to support Tim Sheehy, a Republican Senate Candidate, at a 10pm rally.
"His aircraft had mechanical issues, and he was diverted into the Billings-Logan Airport," a spokesperson for the airport told The New York Post. "He’s continuing to Bozeman on a private jet," they added.
Trump’s campaign confirmed that the ex-president had landed in a video posted to Truth Social around 5.30pm but it did not mention anything about the reported technical issues surrounding his arrival in the state. |
