Flight WF910, operated by Widerøe with a DHC Dash 8-100 registered LN-WIP, was en route from Tromsø to Honningsvåg, Norway, when a crack was discovered in the cockpit windscreen. This necessitated a safety landing at Hammerfest Airport at 13:31 on Sunday.
The aircraft had 21 passengers and three crew members on board. Upon discovering the crack, the crew followed standard procedure by declaring a mayday and landing at the nearest airport.

An additional plane will be dispatched to transport the passengers to their original destination, Honningsvåg, while the affected aircraft undergoes a technical inspection in Hammerfest.
