In a concerning turn of events, a Boeing 737 flight with 188 individuals on board veered off the runway upon landing. This incident marks the third air mishap within a single day.
The KLM Royal Dutch Airlines KL 1204 flight faced an unexpected challenge as it slid off runway 18 at Oslo’s Torp Sanderfjord Airport, following an emergency landing.
Initially, the aircraft departed from Oslo Airport but had to divert urgently to Torp Sanderfjord for pressing reasons.
Upon reaching the landing strip, the plane successfully made contact with the runway. Unfortunately, during the landing roll, it lost control and ended up skidding onto the adjacent grassy terrain by the taxiway.
According to information from Planespotters, this Boeing passenger jet was over 24 years old, a significant detail in this unfolding situation.
Further insights reveal that among the 188 on board, there were 176 passengers and a team of 6 crew members.
This incident involved a KLM Boeing 737-800, a model commonly used in commercial aviation. This aircraft’s diversion from Oslo Airport and subsequent runway excursion are currently under thorough investigation.
Adding to the aviation world’s recent tension, this alarming news emerged just hours after a South Korean airline crash in Muan. That particular mishap was provoked by a probable bird strike, which compromised the plane’s landing gear, causing it to malfunction.
