A passenger plane flying from Norway to the Netherlands veered off the runway during an emergency landing on Sunday, marking the third such incident within 24 hours.
The aircraft, Flight #KL1204, a Boeing 737-800 operated by Royal Dutch Airlines, had taken off from Oslo Airport (OSL) but diverted to Oslo Torp Sandefjord Airport due to a hydraulic system failure.
The emergency landing at Sandefjord, approximately 110 kilometers from Oslo, was initially successful. However, shortly after landing, the plane skidded off the runway and came to a stop in a grassy area nearby.
Despite the incident, all 176 passengers and six crew members on board were unharmed. Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of the hydraulic failure and the circumstances surrounding the runway excursion.
This incident follows an emergency landing by an Air Canada flight on Saturday night at Halifax Stanfield International Airport. The Air Canada plane experienced a landing gear malfunction, adding to a series of similar emergencies over the weekend.
