A passenger flying Scandinavian Airlines from Norway to the sunshine
of Spain received a nasty shock when a mouse hopped out of an inflight
meal.
On Facebook, one passenger wrote, “Believe it or not. A lady next to
me at SAS opened the food and a mouse jumped out. Now we have turned
around and landed at CPH (Copenhagen) for flight changes.”
Scandinavian Airlines was apologetic - thank goodness - saying that finding a mouse in an inflight meal is “extremely rare”.
“We have established procedures for such situations, which also
include a review with our suppliers to ensure this does not happen
again,” the airline said.
Those ‘established procedures’ include diverting the plane to the
nearest airport in case the mouse - or a plague of mice - is chewing
into the aircraft’s wires.
As for the mouse? Apparently, it was looking for the cheesecake.
