Now that it is confirmed that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will come to Brussels to sign the CETA Treaty with the European Union, which aircraft will bring him?

The Royal Canadian Air Force operates a fleet of five Airbus A310-300s (CC-150 Polaris), for the transportation of the Royal Family, the Governor General and other VIPs.

And for sure, the other usual crowd of aircraft for the various Ministers of EU countries is also likely to be present.

Yes, indeed. We can expect the RCAF Airbus CC-150 Polaris 15001 at Brussels on Sunday 30 October for the delayed the EU-Canada summit and the signing of the CETA trade deal.
The summit is scheduled to start at 10h25 local with the arrival of the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau down town.
Trudeau will take off from Ottawa Saturday at 19h00 local (23h00 GMT or around Sunday 01h00 CET) for Brussels, according to his office.
But I think that most of the EU ministers will stay at home, the treaty being signed only by the Canadian PM, by the European Council President Donald Tusk and by the European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

Technical problems for the RCAF A310: first it left 90 minutes late from Ottawa, then 30 minutes after takeoff it had to return because of a flap issue.
