A Royal Dutch Airlines plane with nearly 180 passengers onboard made an emergency landing in Norway Saturday after a hydraulic failure in midair and went off the tarmac into the grass.
The flight was en route from Olso, Norway to Amsterdam when pilots heard a “loud noise,” the airline said.
Statement from Royal Dutch Airlines:
UPDATE 29-12 | Incident with flight KL1204 During takeoff of flight KL1204 from Oslo with destination Amsterdam this evening (28-12) a loud noise was heard. It was decided to divert to the airport of Sandefjord. After landing, the Boeing 737 veered off the runway into the grass at low speed. All 176 passengers and 6 crew members are unharmed and are being taken care of. The circumstances of the incident are being investigated.
UPDATE 29-12: Our passengers were transported to Oslo by bus last night and provided with hotel accommodation if required. KLM will send an aircraft this afternoon to pick up passengers in Oslo. They will be assisted both at Oslo Gardermoen airport and in Amsterdam.
KLM’s technical team will arrive in Sandefjord this morning to investigate the circumstances of the incident together with local authorities and the airport in accordance with aviation procedure, and retrieve the aircraft as soon as possible.
“A passenger plane traveling from Oslo to Amsterdam made an emergency landing at Torp Airport following a hydraulic failure,” the police reportedly said in a statement.
“After landing, we lost control, it turned right, and we couldn’t stop it,” one pilot said on the aircraft radio intercom. It was further reported that the control tower observed smoke coming from the plane’s left engine.
Video from the scene shows passengers evacuating the plane in a field of grass off the runway.

While nobody was injured or killed, other similar incidents across the world recently have left hundreds of victims.
As The Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday, a passenger plane carrying 181 people crashed and exploded into a fireball in South Korea on Saturday.
This comes after an Azerbaijan Airlines flight en route from Baku to Grozny tragically crashed in flames in Kazakhstan on Christmas Day, killing upwards of 30 people.
Additionally, an Air Canada flight carrying 73 passengers encountered a suspected landing gear failure upon touchdown at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport in Nova Scotia, causing the aircraft to skid down the runway and a wing to catch fire. Earlier this year, an Air Canada Boeing jet also burst into flames during takeoff, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing. No injuries were reported on this flight.
Scary, huh?
Expect more of these. There is a decreasing number of staff capable of building and maintaining complex systems, at salaries that corporations in the aviation industry are willing to pay.
I did too! Work at Renton?
Sabotage
LOL, same here :)
Welcome to DEI Airlines. No guarantees you’ll make it.
“Do the needful is a common phrase in Indian English. · It means do that which is needed”
Counterfeit hydraulic fluid or components in the supply chain?
Or an airplane software update?
“Make people afraid to fly so they will take a train or boat to their destination.”
I drive now.
A Crew Cab pickup can haul plenty of “luggage” without any of that checking nonsense. A trailer is always a possibility if one needs to take more.....
You are far better off riding a Dutch airliner with hydraulic issues than you are in a Korean plane with hydraulic issues, it appears.
No, it crashed because of hydraulic issues, it appears from the video.
Now, the hydraulic issues on that one were likely caused by shrapnel from an anti-aircraft missile. But the plane wasn't shot down.
“Work at Renton?”
Charleston for a bit. I was there during the Max 8 fiasco.
I worked Quality Engineering at Renton and at Tinker AFB OK on B-52. KC-135 re-engine and E-3A programs. Old school.

Paging Dr. Meeoff, paging Dr. Jack Meeoff.

Check other manufacturers whose vertical stabilizers tend to fall off when the glue lets go.

Thanks, but no. When we get into aircraft incidents we are delving into statistical analysis and it’s not something I care to research. As an example, over the last 10 years, Boeing doubled Airbus in incidents, 198 to 99.
