Mouse Scare Forces Emergency Landing on Flight to Spain
In a bizarre twist of in-flight dining, a Scandinavian Airlines flight had to divert due to a rather unexpected stowaway—a live mouse that scurried out of a passenger's meal. The incident occurred while the plane was en route from Oslo, Norway, to Malaga, Spain, leading to an emergency landing in Copenhagen, Denmark. Airline representatives stated that the quick decision to divert was in line with safety protocols, as rodents can pose significant risks, particularly to the aircraft’s wiring.
The event unfolded when passenger Jarle Borrestad was seated beside the woman whose meal contained the furry surprise. As she opened her food box, the mouse made its escape, prompting a collective gasp rather than panic among the passengers. Borrestad, keeping his cool, even humorously mentioned that he quickly pulled his socks over his pants to prevent the mouse from making a dash up his legs. “Everyone remained calm,” he recounted in a video interview. “It was a funny situation. People were not stressed at all.”

Scandinavian Airlines emphasized that such incidents are exceedingly rare, and they have established procedures to handle them effectively. Oystein Schmidt, a spokesperson for the airline, reassured the public, stating, “We have protocols to review our suppliers to ensure this does not happen again.” The quick-thinking staff ensured that passengers were transferred to another aircraft, allowing them to continue their journey to sunny Malaga, albeit with a slight delay.
Interestingly, this was not the only rodent-related disruption reported recently. Just days earlier, a train service in southern England had to terminate its route because two squirrels had made themselves at home in a carriage, with one stubbornly refusing to leave. Such incidents highlight the quirky challenges transportation services sometimes face, reminding us that our journeys can be filled with unexpected moments.
As the travel industry strives for safety and comfort, this incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of travel. Passengers might want to keep an eye on their meals and their surroundings, just in case!
