Trump used the plane all the way to the White House in 2016, but has not done so since taking office, opting instead for Air Force One.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates LaGuardia, said there were injuries and no impact on airport operations.

The magnitude of damage to aircraft was not immediately clear. According to FlightAware 's aviation tracking website, the business jet flew Wednesday afternoon to get to Hartford, Connecticut, where Bombardier has a business jet. a service center. Trump's aircraft tracking is stuck on the site.

Trump bought his plane, a refitted commercial airliner, from the late co-founder of Microsoft, Paul Allen, in 2011 for $ 100 million. It was previously used by a low-budget Mexican pbadenger carrier.

Trump made the jet a symbol of wealth, power, and convenience during his presidential campaign, using it almost every night to travel to New York, where his penthouse is located in Manhattan.

The aircraft – painted in black and red, bearing the name of Trump in large gold letters – includes a bedroom, 24-carat gold metal fixtures and leather seats, according to a video of the Trump Organization. During the campaign, it became known as Trump Force One and was a familiar setting for the Trump Airport Hangar rallies.

Lately, the plane has turned into a sort of landmark for LaGuardia, photographers taking pictures of jets pbading and posting them on social networks.
