The plane arrived with a security vehicle that would be a part of Trump’s cavalcade during the 22-km-long roadshow from the airport to Sabarmati Ashram.
 
Media reports suggest that the aircraft is believed to have brought in some security equipment as well. Sources have also revealed that more of such cargo planes are expected to arrive in Ahmedabad over the next few days. These planes would carry vehicles, arms and ammunition, and equipment. According to reports, while four of the cargo aircraft are expected to land in the city ahead of the presidential visit, three more aircraft – out of which two will be cargo and one passenger plane will land in the Gujarat city along with Trump’s plane on February 24.
