A Scandinavian Airlines flight scheduled from Norway to Spain faced an unexpected diversion when a small mouse made an appearance by climbing out of a passenger’s in-flight meal. The incident occurred mid-air, prompting the crew to take immediate action for the safety and well-being of all passengers on board.
Passengers on the flight were surprised and startled by the unexpected guest during the meal service. Reacting promptly to the situation, the flight crew diverted the aircraft to the nearest airport. Upon landing, the mouse was safely removed from the cabin, and the aircraft underwent a thorough inspection to ensure no further signs of pests.
Despite the unforeseen disruption, Scandinavian Airlines reassured passengers that their safety is always a top priority and that such incidents are taken seriously to uphold strict standards of hygiene and cleanliness on their flights. The airline apologized for any inconvenience caused and offered affected passengers alternative arrangements to reach their intended destination in Spain.
Authorities have been informed of the incident, and the airline is working closely with relevant agencies to investigate the source of the mouse on board the aircraft. Passengers were accommodated and rebooked on subsequent flights as necessary to resume their travel plans.
This unusual occurrence serves as a reminder of the importance of food safety and pest control protocols in the aviation industry. Scandinavian Airlines continues to uphold stringent measures to maintain high standards of cleanliness and customer service for all its passengers.
The flight eventually continued to its destination in Spain after the necessary inspections and protocols were completed.
