KLM Flight Diverts to Norway After Hydraulic Failure, Skids Off Runway Upon Landing

A KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing at Oslo Torp Sandefjord Airport in Norway on Saturday, December 28, following a hydraulic failure.

The Boeing 737-800, operating as flight KL1204 from Oslo to Amsterdam, encountered a loud noise during takeoff, prompting the crew to divert as a precaution. The aircraft, carrying 176 passengers and six crew members, landed safely but veered off runway 18, coming to a stop in soft grass near a taxiway.

Despite the alarming situation, all 182 people on board escaped unharmed.

In a statement, KLM confirmed the incident, saying, “During takeoff of flight KL1204 from Oslo to 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.”

Emergency responders swiftly arrived at the scene, assisting passengers who were evacuated using mobile stairs. Authorities are now collaborating with KLM to investigate the hydraulic failure and determine the cause of the runway incident.

This event highlights the importance of crew vigilance and safety protocols, which ensured the well-being of everyone on board.
