U.S. President Donald Trump landed safely back at Joint Base Andrews after Air Force One turned around mid-flight while en route to Davos, Switzerland. Officials confirmed the aircraft returned due to a minor electrical issue, which was quickly identified and handled by the crew.
No injuries were reported during the incident, and the situation was managed with standard safety procedures. White House officials emphasized that the decision to return was precautionary and aimed at ensuring the safety of the president, staff, and crew onboard.
Trump had been scheduled to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he was expected to participate in meetings and deliver remarks on global economic and geopolitical issues. Officials noted that the return could delay the president’s arrival, but that alternative arrangements would be made to continue the trip safely.
The minor electrical issue reportedly affected cabin systems briefly after takeoff, though it did not pose a significant risk to the aircraft. The incident highlights the strict safety protocols maintained during presidential air travel.
