Already on Monday Mrs Burbok arrived two hours late in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, due to a technical problem.
She is not exactly the first German official to see her program upended by problems with Luftwaffe planes.
In November 2018, a German Air Force Airbus named Konrad Adenauer had to return to Germany while transporting then-Chancellor Angela Merkel and then-Vice-Chancellor and Finance Minister Olaf to Buenos Aires to attend the G20 summit Soltz, due to breakdown.
In October 2018, rodents chewed through some of the wiring on the same aircraft in Indonesia.
While in December 2016, then German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen saw her trip to Mali interrupted due to a computer problem on the Airbus A340 carrying her.
