The Swiss government's new jet faced engine trouble during a flight from Ankara to Antalya, carrying Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis.
The crew detected a brief power reduction in one engine, prompting the Swiss Army to ground the jet for safety reasons.
Cassis and his team reached their destination without further issues, but a replacement aircraft was used for their return to Switzerland.
This incident adds to a history of technical problems with Swiss government planes, including a series of malfunctions in 2021 that disrupted flights for top officials.
Investigations into the latest issue are ongoing in collaboration with the manufacturer.
