A Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) flight from Oslo to Malaga was forced to make an emergency landing in Copenhagen. This occurred after a passenger discovered a live mouse in their meal. The incident occurred on September 18 and raised safety concerns, prompting the airline to divert the flight as a precaution.
SAS spokesperson Oystein Schmidt confirmed that the presence of the rodent posed a potential risk. The risk was particularly worrying due to possible damage to electrical wiring on the plane.
Passengers on board reacted calmly to the situation. One passenger, Jarle Borrestad, recounted how the mouse jumped from the meal of a fellow traveler. He noted that while the atmosphere remained tranquil.
He took personal precautions by tucking his socks into his trousers. This was to prevent the mouse from crawling up his legs. After the emergency landing, passengers were transferred to another airplane. They continued their journey to Malaga with only a two-hour delay.
SAS has established procedures to prevent such rare incidents from happening again, including a review with their suppliers.
Schmidt emphasized that occurrences like this are extremely uncommon and that the airline is committed to ensuring passenger safety. The incident highlights the importance of maintaining high standards in food safety and airplane cleanliness.
In a related note, another unusual incident involved a cobra. It appeared midair from beneath a pilot’s seat in South Africa. This caused panic among passengers. Fortunately, the pilot managed to land the plane safely without any injuries.
These incidents underscore the unpredictable nature of air travel and the need for airlines to be prepared for unexpected challenges.
