She flew to Africa, and for three full days, the Air Force's Airbus A-319 was not visible on public flight tracking websites.

The Airbus 605, which he often uses on his trips abroad Peter Szijjarto The Foreign Minister left the military airport in Kecskemét on the evening of June 5, heading to Africa. The plane landed in Tunis, and from there it quickly headed south. The plane carrying 140 passengers was flying at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters in Tunisian airspace when it disappeared from public flight tracking websites before midnight. They must have turned off the plane's signals, because it did not appear on radar for three days, and it was impossible to track its destination.
The plane did not appear again until Saturday evening, returning directly to the Kecskimet base from the southern border region of Tunisia.
On 7 June, we sent questions to the Ministry of National Defense (HM) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (KKM) to find out what action the National Defense aircraft were involved in. We also asked whether the road could be linked to the national defense mission in Chad, about which the government has recently released little specific information.
Noting that the plane falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Interior, KKM indicated that it would not respond to the investigation. On the other hand, we tried to contact the press department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs several times during the past week, but despite the promises, they did not respond, and in the end they did not answer the phone.
