Exciting news from aviation today reveals how a Boeing 737, carrying 188 passengers and crew, skidded off the runway during an emergency landing. This marks the third such aviation incident within a single day.
This particular flight was operated by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, under flight number KL 1204. The plane had to make an emergency landing at Oslo Torp Sanderfjord Airport after veering off runway 18.
Originally departing from Oslo Airport, the aircraft found itself needing to divert to a different location urgently. Conditions seemed to go smoothly initially; the Boeing 737 touched down safely on the runway. However, the landing quickly turned chaotic as the plane lost control and skidded onto the grass next to the taxiway.
According to details from Planespotters, the Boeing jet involved in this mishap was over 24 years old, with 176 passengers and six crew members on board.
This Boeing 737-800, a widely used narrow-body aircraft in commercial travel, was initially redirected from Oslo Airport. The subsequent runway excursion is now part of an ongoing investigation.
This incident follows closely on the heels of another aviation scare, where a South Korean airliner crashed in Muan. In that case, a possible bird strike led to a malfunction of the plane’s landing gear.
