Flightradar24 has refuted reports of a malfunction in the electronic navigation system of the plane,

on which Ursula von der Leyen flew to Bulgaria

According to the service, the quality of navigation data was normal throughout the route. The flight of the President of the European Commission lasted less than ten minutes over schedule, despite the information that “the plane circled over Plovdiv” (Bulgaria) for an hour.

 

Earlier, the Financial Times reported that European authorities suspect Moscow of crashing von der Leyen’s plane.
