Severe turbulence forced a flight that took off from Stockholm and was destined for Miami to make a U-turn over Greenland Thursday, according to the airline.
The Scandinavian Airlines flight was expected to take nine hours, but is now en route back to a Copenhagen airport where staffers can check on possible technical issues, an airline spokesperson told The Post.
There were no severe injuries reported among the 254 passengers and crew members aboard the flight.
But images posted on social media of the purported flight show items on the floor along the aisle following the commotion.
The spokesperson explained that the company did not have the necessary equipment in Miami to inspect the plane.
“Flying the aircraft to MIA would have resulted in it being grounded for an extended period, leading to multiple cancellations,” the spokesperson said.
Standard safety procedures mandate a close inspection of the aircraft following extreme turbulence, according to the airline.
Passengers will receive hotel rooms overnight once they land before hopping back on another flight for the Sunshine State Friday.
Another Scandinavian Airlines flight in September was also forced to divert after a mouse jumped from a passenger’s meal and started running around the cabin.
The plane was flying from Norway to Spain when it was forced to land in Denmark.
