A mechanical failure on a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines journey from Oslo to Amsterdam on Saturday caused an emergency landing and airport voyage at Oslo Torp Sandefjord Airport. All 176 people and six staff people were rescued.
The event
The event occurred on the evening of December 28, when a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Boeing 737-800 was diverted to Oslo Torp Sandefjord Airport (TRF) after the crew detected a hydraulic failure shortly after takeoff from Oslo-Gardermoen Airport (OSL) at 7:05 pm local time. The diversion followed after “a loud noise was heard,” the airline reported, according to a New York Post report.
The aircraft, registered as PH-BXM, was operating flight KL1204 to Amsterdam-Schiphol International Airport ( AMS ) with 176 passengers and six crew members on board.
Local media reported that smoking was spotted coming from the left website, and the pilots called an incident and said they could never control the aircraft. The helicopter veered off to the proper and came to a halt on a grassy place as it made its way onto airport 18 at Torp. Emergency response teams immediately arrived, and all people were escorted safely down the flight steps. No injuries were reported.
KLM issues speech
KLM released a statement, saying,” Our people were transported to Oslo by vehicle last night and provided with resort accommodation if required. This evening, KLM may fly an aircraft to Oslo to pick up people. Both Oslo Gardermoen Airport and Amsterdam will be able to assist them.
According to the airline, “KLM’s technical group will appear in Sandefjord this day to check the circumstances of the event together with the airport and the local authorities in accordance with aviation procedure,” the airline continued.
Accident analysis and recovery efforts are underway.
The accident research committee of Norway examined the scene and gave the plane a briefing before nightfall, local time. The aircraft closed after the tragedy, diverting planes to Oslo-Gardermoen Airport.
Working with local government and the aircraft to investigate the incident and retrieve the plane, a KLM technical staff is stationed in Sandefjord. The airport stated that it would follow accepted aircraft standards.
This affair follows another new aeroplane injuries, including one that was lethal in Kazakhstan on Christmas Day and one that was in South Korea on Saturday.
