A Scandinavian Airlines flight from Oslo to Malaga was diverted to Copenhagen after a rodent emerged from an in-flight meal, startling passengers. The incident caused no injuries, and the flight resumed its journey after a few hours.
A passenger airplane traveling from Norway to Spain was forced to land after a rodent popped out of one of its in-flight meals. The Scandinavian Airlines flight — traveling from Oslo to Malaga on Wednesday — was diverted from its route after a critter startled a woman opening her airline-provided food.
Jarle Borrestad, a passenger on the plane that witnessed the rodent spring out of a nearby woman's packaged meal, told the BBC that those aboard the flight remained generally calm. "This is something that happens extremely rarely," Scandinavian Airlines spokesperson Oystein Schmidt told Agence France-Presse.
The pit stop lasted only a few hours, Borrestad told the BBC.
