An SAS plane filled with Swedish AIK supporters on its way to Malaga in Spain received a surprising message about halfway into the flight.
To The evening paper says passenger Christopher Magnani that the plane suddenly had to turn its nose towards home.
Rodents on board
– Halfway through the flight, the pilot says that a passenger has seen a mouse on board and that unfortunately we have to turn around, he tells Aftonbladet.
– The whole plane was filled with AIKs together with a small rodent, then.
Funnily enough, “gnat” is the nickname of the Stockholm team, and the supporters were on their way to follow their team to play a training match in Marbella when the plane turned around. Without it affecting the mood among the gang.
Then the holiday ends
– I met some supporters here who were quick to have a beer in the bar, but now we are going back, says Magnani to the newspaper.
Fortunately for them human the rodents will still have a trip to the sunny Spanish coast. A new plane set off again towards Malaga on Saturday morning. Hopefully without unwanted rodents on board this time.
Confirms the event
Øystein Schmidt, press manager at SAS Norway, says that the safety of their passengers and colleagues is SAS’ highest priority, and that they chose to return to Arlanda as a precaution.
