The problem with what an officer said had to do with the cockpit windshield on the C-32, a converted Boeing 757, took place about 90 minutes after the flight left the joint Basic Andrews outside Washington.
Although Rubio is planning to resume his journey on a new plane, it was not immediately clear whether the delay would lead to a planned Friday morning meeting with vice -president JD Vance and the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zenskyy in Munich.
