Mouse on a Plane Forces SAS Flight to Make Emergency Landing

Daniel Kim Views  

In a bizarre turn of events, a live mouse made its grand entrance during an in-flight meal, leading to an emergency landing on a Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) flight. According to a report from the BBC, the flight was en route from Oslo, Norway, to Málaga, Spain, when the unexpected guest popped out of a passenger’s meal, prompting the crew to divert to Copenhagen, Denmark, on the 18th.

In video footage obtained by the BBC, a woman can be heard exclaiming that a mouse had emerged from her dish. The passenger who captured the incident on film humorously mentioned that they tucked their pants into their socks to prevent the mouse from crawling in but noted that everyone remained surprisingly calm about the emergency landing.

While it may seem like a minor incident, rodents on planes pose a serious risk. They can damage critical electrical wiring essential for the aircraft’s operation.

Oystein Schmidt, a spokesperson for SAS, addressed the incident, stating, “We have established procedures for such situations, which also include a review with our suppliers to ensure this does not happen again.”

After the emergency landing, passengers were transferred to another flight to continue their journey to Málaga, Spain.

This isn’t the first time rodents have disrupted flight operations. In 2017, a flight from London Heathrow to San Francisco was delayed for four hours after a mouse was found onboard.

Similarly, on the 14th, two squirrels decided to hitch a ride on a train in southern England, temporarily halting service.
