Share

In the evening of Saturday, 28 December, a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Boeing 737-800 (registered PH-BXM) operated flight KL1204 from Oslo, Norway to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, when shortly after take-off, the aircraft experienced a hydraulic failure.

The crew decided to divert to the Oslo Torp Sandefjord Airport. During landing, however, the aircraft skidded right, off the runway into soft grass, just before reaching a taxiway.

No injuries have been reported and passengers evacuated the aircraft by mobile stairs. Emergency crews are responding to the scene. Passengers and crew are being provided assistance as investigations into the incident continue.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
