BRASILIA/SAO PAULO (Reuters) -The airplane transporting Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has been circling in the air due to a technical issue it encountered after departing Mexico City, the Brazilian Air Force said in a statement released on Tuesday afternoon.
The plane's pilots are waiting to consume fuel before landing in the same airport, according to the statement, which added that Lula is expected to use a different plane to return to Brazil.
